Our Governors

The Governors of the school are like a Board of Directors. They oversee what the school does and makes sure that it is working effectively and meet at least twice a term at school.

Parents can contact the Chair of Governors directly by leaving a message at the school.

Governors are appointed to support the school and ask questions about how it is working.

In addition they…

• Monitor standards of teaching and learning
• Interview and select staff
• Decide how the school budget is spent
• Look after the school building
• Help the school contribute to the community
• Review the head teacher’s performance

School governors have legal duties, powers and responsibilities. They act together for the good of the school, but cannot act individually

School governors are…

• Parents
• Teachers and other staff at the school
• Local council representatives
• Representatives from the community or industry
• The head teacher

Parent governors…

• Have a child at the school
• Are elected by parents of the school
• Serve, as do other governors, for four years

Parent governors bring the views of parents to the governing body but are not delegates of the parents. If you would like to be a parent governor, please ask the head teacher or the school secretary for details.

Our clerk from September 2015 will be Mr Paul Harasiwka.
