Governing Body
Our school governors come from a range of backgrounds, bringing together different skills, experiences and knowledge. We have several different types of governors:
- Foundation
- Community
- Parent
- Staff
Governors do not act independently but together as a governing body with joint responsibility. The role of the governing body is a strategic one and its key functions are:
- set the aims and objectives of the school
- set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
- set targets for achieving those aims and objectives
- monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making
- be a source of challenge and support to the Head
- ensure clarity of vision, ethos, and strategic direction;
- oversee the financial performance of the school and ensure its money is well spent
- maintaining stakeholder engagement/building relationships with parents, staff pupils, and the wider community.
The governing body is structured into subcommittees that deal with specific areas of school development, including:
- Impact
- Resources
- Pay Committee
- Headteacher Performance Management
