In the event of an appeal panel or disciplinary panel being required, the Local Academy Committee at Christ Church CE Primary Academy has agreed that any local academy member may be asked to be a member of that panel subject to availability, training and lack of personal involvement.

Guidance on Meetings

There will be occasions where attendance at the meetings will include people who are not local academy committee members.
A member of the teaching staff will be invited to one of the local academy committee meetings during an academic year to share relevant information about the progress their class are making and the leadership of their national curriculum subject.
The quorum for a meeting will be at least 2/3 of the local academy committee.
