What does the Governing body do…?

​

We meet as a whole Governing body termly (Six times per year).  We do not have any sub-committees.

 

The Governing body monitor data and information on the school's performance and how it compares nationally and at a county level. It is also the Governing body's role to ask questions, as a 'critical friend'.

 

We ensure that relevant policies are current and appropriate and that teaching standards meet national requirements.

 

The Governing body is also active in the decision making for approving and monitoring the school budget, recruitment, the upkeep of the school and grounds including improvements scheduled and ensuring that school funds are spent in an appropriate way. It is not the Governing body's role to be involved in the day to day running of the school that sits with the Headteacher and the senior leadership team.

 

Each Governor also has responsibility for a particular subject area or part of the school for which we work with specific members of staff to monitor progress during the year.
