ABOUT THE GOVERNING BODY

The governing body comprises of a team of voluntary elected staff, parents and other interested parties. They are responsible for making sure the school provides a good quality education for all children. Governors promote effective ways of teaching and learning when setting the school aims and policies. They do this together with the headteacher, who is resposible for the day to day management of the school.

WHAT DO GOVERNOR'S DO

The governing body has a range of important responsibilities these include working with the headteacher and staff to shape the future of the school. A key priority is raising educational standards in school.

In simple terms the Governing Body has three main roles.

Firstly, to provide a strategic overview that ensures the pupils learn most effectively and achieve the highest standards.

Secondly, to act as a "critical friend" of the school by providing the headteacher and staff with support, advice and information. We monitor and evaluate to school's effectiveness and promote the interests of the school and pupils.

Thirdly, to ensure accountability. We are accountable to parents, pupils, the community, the Local Authority and Ofsted.
