Governors
Who they are

What they do
Governors represent the largest group of voluntary workers in the country but what exactly do they do?
The governing body exists to promote the interests of the school and its children. Although each governing body will reflect the needs of their individual school, the governors have 3 main roles within the school community:
1. To provide a strategic view
Governors help to decide the ways to improve the school so that children learn effectively and achieve the highest possible standards.
2. To act as a critical friend
Governors also have a supportive role and through their expertise and knowledge take responsibility for monitoring the school’s effectiveness by asking questions and seeking to make improvements.
3. To ensure accountability
The governing body is responsible for ensuring quality education and has a duty to discuss and question proposals that affect this. It provides information to parents via the school profile (available online) and the school prospectus.
From this you can see that governors get involved in all aspects of life at our school!
Governors meet at least twice a term. Parents are welcome to attend and listen to what is going on.
The School Governing Body is made up of parents, teachers and support staff of the school, local council representatives and community representatives, business men and women.
Parent Governors have a child or children in the school and are elected by parents of the school.
Our School Governors are hard working members of our school family. They provide us with varying levels of expertise across all areas of school life and work in strong partnership with the Headteacher and staff to secure a strategic vision for the school.
The minutes of the full governing body meetings are held in the school office for anyone who wishes to read them.
Both the Chair and the Clerk to Governors can be contacted through the school.
Policies and documents
A number of policies are required by law. But legislation aside, it makes sense to have a common agreed approach to an issue. Our policies aim to provide consistency within the school, with a sense of shared direction and purpose.
These policies provide the guiding principles which we have agreed as a school to follow. Some of these policies include broad guidelines for practice and will indicate actions or a pattern of actions that our staff might take.
A list of the school’s policies and guidelines is available by clicking here.
If you would like to see a particular policy, please come into school and ask at the office.
