Local Governing Committee
Our Lady of Lourdes, Shotton Colliery and St. Joseph’s, Blackhall share one Local Governing Committee. This is made up of members of the local communities known as foundation governors, a parent governor, a staff governor and the headteacher.
The LGC meets at least twice per term. It is responsible for many areas of school life including approving the School Improvement Plan, oversight of school policies, managing the school budget and ensuring the school has the staffing and physical resources to deliver its priorities. The LGC also makes decisions about pupil admissions.

The Chair of the Local Governing Committee is Clare Sutherland, who can be contacted via the school office.
