Governing body

Every school has a Governing Body. The Education (No 2) Act, 1986, states that from 16th September 2013 the Governing Body will consist of 2 Parent Governors, 1 Staff Governor, 1 Headteacher and 4 Co-Opted Governors.  

Briefly the Governors’ duties are:

• To see that each school is conducted in accordance with the Education Acts.
• Finance - as it affects the needs of the school
• To see that the premises are kept in a good state of repair and to direct how the premises might be used out of school hours.
• To assist in the appointment of all staff in the school.
• To exercise general responsibility for the welfare of the school.
• Governors have always had responsibilities regarding the School’s Curriculum, but with the introduction of the National Curriculum, their duties in this area have been clearly defined.
• In 2014 we decided that all of our meetings would be full governing body meetings so that all governors are fully involved in all decisions.  
• Full Governors’ meetings are held six times a year. 
• If you wish to contact the Governors for any reason, you may do so direct or through the Clerk to Governors, via the School Office on 365410.

Our governors really value the continuous professional development available which helps them fulfil their role within school. Courses attended include:

Chairing skills, safeguarding, Prevent Duty, Moving schools from good to outstanding, working with parents, effective governance, Introduction to pupil premium, SEND, new governor induction, role of the parent governor, safer recruitment, budget monitoring, Headteacher performance management and meeting the Ofsted behaviour and safety judgement and chair and clerk update meetings
