Governors
Welcome to the Governors’ Section
School governors work closely with the headteacher and other members of school staff.
The headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school and all operational
matters.
The school’s governors have a strategic role but hold the headteacher to account for how they
run the school.
School governors have 4 core strategic functions:
Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction |
|
Holding the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff |
|
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent |
|
Ensuring the voices of stakeholders are heard |
The Governing Board meets six times per year, currently Wednesdays 1830-2030, with
additional meetings as required, either during the school day or in the evening.
There is also a “Governors In School Day”, usually after Spring half term.
All our work links to the current Ofsted framework which focuses on four key areas:
Achievement of Students |
|
Quality of Teaching |
|
Behaviour and Safety of Students |
|
Quality of Leadership and Management |
Our Governors
Our Governors come from many backgrounds and have a wide range of skills and experiences, which
bring independent views to issues of strategy, performance, the management of resources and setting
the standards and expectations of the school.
All governors are committed to the success of the school and to ensuring that all students are given
every opportunity to fulfil their potential.
