Local Governing Committee

On 1st February 2026 we joined the Agape Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). Each school within the Agape MAT has its own Local Governing Committee whose role and responsibilities are set out in a scheme of delegation.

If you wish to contact the Local Governing Committee, please email the Governance Professional clerk@shinfield-st-marys.wokingham.sch.uk
