Meet the Governors!
The Governing Body is made up of 18 governors: 6 parent governors; 4 staff governors (including the Head teacher); 4 community governors (who were appointed by the governing body) and 4 governors who are nominated by the local authority.
The role of the Governor Body is:-
Strategic; To set a broad strategy for the school’s development.
Executive; To carry out the governing body’s statutory duties.
Challenging/Supportive; To be a ‘critical friend’ to the school, by challenging and supporting the senior management team and by taking opportunities to show interest in and appreciation of the work of staff and pupils.
Sustaining; To maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the governing body.
The Governing Body meets 4 times a year (2 in the autumn term and 1 meeting in each of the spring and summer terms). Other committees are also in place and the governing body has delegated most of its statutory and other functions to them. The Committees are Finance and Personnel, Curriculum and Premises.
Governors also provide an important link role between the Governing Body and a specific subject, curriculum area or aspect of work of the school.
Governors provide a voluntary role and bring to the governing body: values, attitudes and knowledge of the world, as well as any expertise; which can help the school better serve its pupils and the community.
