The Governing Body

 

The school’s Governing Body is responsible for overseeing many of the strategic decisions of the school, offering support, giving advice and help where needed.  Conversely, it may also challenge, ask questions, seek information and improve proposals, in order to arrive at the best solution for the pupils, staff and whole school community.

Our Governing Body works in close partnership with the Headteacher, staff and the Local Authority. Whilst the Headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school, the governors act as a kind of Board of Directors, and are involved with such things, for example, as curriculum, health and safety, safe guarding, school buildings and finance.  The Governing Body works as a team with shared responsibilities and has legal duties, powers and responsibilities. However, governors can only act together; they cannot act individually.  The parents of the school elect parent governors. They will have a child at the school and serve for a term of four years.

The Full Governing Body meets at least once each term - the minutes of these meetings are available to parents in the school office; additionally, there are sub committees which meet more frequently.
