Our School Governors have an important strategic role and play a key part in developing and monitoring school life. As part of their role they are responsible for financial matters relating to the school budget, as well as:
Governors’ Meetings are held on a regular basis throughout the year and cover a wide range of issues. The main agenda items focus on reports from the sub-committees (Resources, Curriculum & Achievement and Children, Families & Community committees) and the Headteacher’s Report, plus other aspects of their statutory duties. The Governors contribute fully to the discussions and decisions relating to the strategic vision for the school, and bring a variety of perspectives to these debates. They ensure that the Headteacher is fully held to account in a robust way as a critical friend.
