Governors

 

Governors are at the heart of how a school operates and are the school’s accountable body. We make decisions which are in the best interests of the children and young people. Fulfilling the role of a school governor is, therefore, both a serious undertaking and enormously rewarding, we do this by:

  • providing a strategic view of the school by establishing a vision and setting the purpose and aims of the school within an agreed policy framework
  • appointing and performance managing the Headteacher
  • monitoring and evaluating the work of the school
  • monitoring progress towards targets, and the effectiveness of the school improvement strategy
  • acting as a critical friend
  • respond and act on Ofsted reports as necessary

In order to do this, governors need to gain knowledge of how their school operates through training, by attending meetings, and by getting to know their school community, for example through visits to the school during the school day.

 

The term for a school governor is four years and the governing body meets five times a year and the Resources and Standards Committees meet once every term.

 

The governing body is made up of four groups representing parents, staff, the community and the Local Authority. We are interested in education and committed to the way our local school makes decisions. More information can be found on the County Council’s website by clicking here.

 

You can find full school details on the Government's Get Information About Schools website by clicking here.
