The Structure & Responsibilities of the Governing Body
Our Governors are a group of volunteers from a range of backgrounds from within our community and play a very important role in the leadership and management of our school.
This means that they are in charge of employing staff, allocating funds from the budget to be spent strategically on improving standards within the school. Our governors visit the school regularly and each governor has a specific role in the school which they ensure is run correctly and against national standards.
Our governors challenge our staff to ensure that the school is run smoothly and effectively on a day-to-day basis and that our standards in education are high. They make sure that the senior management of the school are held accountable for each child's education.
The governors are very aproachable and can be contacted via the school office.
The Governing Body's aim is to work closely with the Headteacher, the Deputy, and the staff, in order to help the children at the school achieve their full potential, in a happy, caring environment.
The key elements in achieving this aim are listed below:
- Monitoring the performance and progress of all the children at the school.
- Supporting the staff to teach and care for the children.
- In discussion with the Headteacher, ensuring that the resources of the school are best utilised.
- Forward planning with the Headteacher and Deputy to ensure that the overall performance of staff, children, and hence the school, continues to improve.
To enable the Governors to achieve these objectives, the Body is made up of key groups within the school, parents, staff, the Local Authority, the Church and the community. Some of the Governors are appointed by the Diocese, whilst others are elected. All serve for a term of three years.
The Body generally meets once a term; a number of sub-committees focus on finance, staffing, buildings, health and safety and the curriculum. Individual members of the Body focus on particular subjects, ie. numeracy, literacy, ICT, etc.
We welcome views from our parents and supporters, and hopefully this summary will give you a brief insight into the role of the Governing Body.
