On behalf of the Governing Board, I would like to briefly introduce you to the work the Governing Board undertakes to ensure that your child will receive a solid primary school education.
The Governing Board is responsible for ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction. The key role is to act as a ‘critical friend’ to support, to challenge and to ask questions.
The Headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school. However, the Governing Board works closely with the Headteacher, staff and the Local Authority and will be involved with staffing, curriculum, school buildings and finance aspect of school life.
The membership of the Governing Board includes parents, teaching staff, co-opted members of the community and the Local Authority. The Governing Board meets at least once each term and the finance, premises and health and safety committee also meets on a termly basis.
The Governing Board has a range of powers and duties laid down by various Education Acts. These responsibilities relate to:
- Promoting high standards of educational achievement
- Setting the strategic framework within which the school operates
- Management of the school’s delegated budget
- Ensuring that the curriculum for the school is broad, balanced and reflects the school’s local context.
Governors discharge the above responsibilities, together with many others, through a Governing Board meeting each term. These formal meetings are in addition to a series of informal sub-committee meetings dealing with more specific issues:
- Finance/Premises/Health and Safety
A number of governors also have responsibilities for specific areas within the school such as literacy, maths and inclusion and child protection.
Governors also adopt, review and monitor a range of policies that govern the operation of the school including Health and Safety, Behaviour, Curriculum and Performance Management.
The Governing Board is extremely proud of the achievements of the school, celebrating our school vision of “Building Personal Success”.
We are always happy to hear your thoughts and comments about the strategic direction of the school.
