Our Governing

Body

"School Governors are a large, usually unsung army of volunteers. There is much to celebrate about the contribution made by school governors." ~ Education sub Committee House of Commons, July 1999 Governors come from all walks of life, all social and economic backgrounds and all age groups - there is no legal retirement age for a governor. All serve for a term of four years and all have equal status, power and right to vote. Foundation Governors only serve the governing body of Church and Foundation Schools. Governors have an important role in the running of our school. They are responsible not only for the maintenance and care of the building but also for the curriculum. In addition, the Governors are expected to exercise budgetary control over the school's expenditure on staffing, heating, lighting, purchase of equipment and general maintenance of the property. A Parent Governor, as the title implies, represents the interests of the parents, and should be contacted if you have any matters pertaining to your child’s education which you wish to be brought to the notice of the Governing Body. All Governors are invited to spend some time in visiting the school whilst it is at work and becoming familiar with routine and practise.
