Governing Body

Introduction by Jenny Horrabin, Chair of the Governors

It is the Headteacher and her team that manages the school and the Governing Body that provides support, leadership and direction. There are governors representing all stakeholders including parents, staff, the local authority and the community. As governors we are there to develop a long-term strategic direction to how the school is run; be critical friends; ensure the school is accountable for its actions, and make sure that it operates effectively in the interests of its pupils, parents and other stakeholders. Governors are volunteers and give their time willingly to support the work of the school. There are two main sub-committees of the Governing body which have different areas of responsibility:

• the Resource Management Committee
• the Quality, Standards and Performance Committee

Click on each committee for more details of what their roles are.

Meetings of the Governing body take place at least once a term, usually in the evening. In addition each sub-committee normally meets once a term, also in the evening.
