The governing body's main aim is to help raise standards of achievement and make sure the school provides a good quality education. The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the head teacher and staff. Rather than manage. Governors are there to help shape the school's future direction and focus.
We have two working committees and our governors are members of and attend both. The two committees are the Resource Committee and the Teaching & Learning Committee. Governors also attend a full governing body meeting, which take place termly. Currently we are holding meetings during the school day so that our governors are submerged into the life of the school and have a better understanding of the way we work. A typical 'Governor Day' may consist of:
The three main responsibilities of every governing board are:
Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
