Meet the Governors

Our School Governors

Our school governors work with our school to support the education of your children. They are drawn from all parts of our local community, and it is their role to ensure that high standards are maintained throughout all aspects of your child’s education.  Our Governing Board work with the school to ensure they improve each year. They:

• hold the headteacher to account for a school’s performance
• make sure the budget is spent wisely
• set the school targets and ensure they are met
• take part in hearings and appeals
• making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe
• appoint and dismiss staff

Governors attend meetings during the school year to discuss the school's progress.

The Governing Board currently comprises a total of 15 governors:

• 3 Parent Governors, elected by the parents
• 1 Local Authority Governor, nominated by the local authority but appointed by the governing board
• 2 Staff Governors (including the headteacher), who are elected by the staff
• 9 Co-opted Governors, who are elected by the governing board

Governors are appointed for a term of three years.

Our Governing Board also has one associate member.  Associate members can be a valuable addition to a governing board. They can be useful if a governing board has identified a skills gap and is unable to fill this with a serving governor. Although associate members are entitled to attend full governing board meetings, they cannot vote.
