The Governors can be likened to non-executive directors. They are drawn from a variety of areas to represent various views of the community and are expected to be the ‘critical friend ‘ of the school. They are appointed for four years to help make decisions on school policy. Governors meet at least once a term and take a consistent and personal interest in the school.
Governors are appointed to help to:
- work with staff to produce, monitor and update the School Improvement Plan
- decide what is taught, in conjunction with the National Curriculum
- agree targets in relation to learning
- set standards of behaviour
- interview and select staff
- decide how the budget is spent
- maintain premises
- ensure the Health and Safety Regulations are met
- ensure staff have continuing professional development
School Governors cannot act individually, they can only make joint decisions after discussion.
The Governing Body is organised as follows:-
12 Governors consisting of:-
- 1 Headteacher
- 1 Staff member
- 1 Local Authority appointment
- 7 Co-opted (appointed based on skills audit)
- 2 elected Parents
