The School governors are a team of people who work closely with the head teacher to ensure that it delivers the best possible education for each and every child.
To ensure clarity of vision and strategic direction for the school;
To hold the Leadership to account for the educational performance of the school, its pupils and the performance management of staff;
To oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent.
These questions are used to guide the governing board meetings and to review our governing board performance and test the effectiveness of delegated structures and operations:
The governing board fulfils its duties through formal meetings of the whole board twice each term. The board sets the overall direction and priorities for governors each term, oversees safeguarding, scrutinises academic performance, teaching and learning and the curriculum and oversees financial matters, human resources (personnel) and premises. All governors are committed to a governor’s code of conduct (download below).
Individual governors visit the school periodically. Some governors are parents and others have previously had children at the school. During the year there is at least one formal “governors in school” day when several governors visit together to meet pupils and staff.
Governors contribute to the wider local education system through participation at cluster events, training sessions and conferences and through involvement with other schools’ governing boards.
