We have three key roles:
- To be strategic and this includes planning the school’s future direction
- To act as a critical friend, supporting the head teacher and working with all staff to decide how the school can encourage pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
- To be accountable, in particular for the performance of the school to parents and the wider community
The Governing Body has an additional resources sub committee which focuses primarily on: staff, buildings and finance.
The committee review policy documents, undertake school visits and complete a variety of monitoring activities.
As school governors, we make important collective decisions and as a governing body we are responsible to parents and the community.
Our aim is to:
-
Ensure the school achieves high educational standards
-
Contribute to the School Improvement Plan and set priorities.
-
Set the school’s policies.
-
Appoint senior staff including the head teacher. Be involved in the recruitment of all other staff in consultation with the head teacher.
-
Control of the school budget to ensure money is spent wisely.
-
Ensure a broad and balanced curriculum which meets National Curriculum standards
We meet as a full governing body once every term.
In addition we visit the school during lessons to monitor and support the development and quality of teaching. Representatives from the governing body can be seen at school assemblies, events and parents evenings.
Term of office is 4 years.
