Welcome to our Governors page

School governors are volunteers who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education. As a Church of England Primary school we are committed to enabling all stakeholders to support our children to be the best that they can be so that they can live life in all its fullness (John10:10).

Governors are appointed by different groups across the wider school community to bring a breadth of expertise and viewpoints. We all have an equal vote and work collectively for the best interests of the school as a whole.

Our approach to ensuring that all Governors can play a full and productive part in the leadership of the school, is to enable the use of technology to support those who cannot always be physically present at meetings

We work in partnership with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to support them whilst also challenging them to continuously improve and develop the school to provide the best possible experience for all its children. Governors provide strategic guidance and oversight, not day-to-day management.

Working with the Headteacher, our role includes:

• Strategic planning and direction: Setting the school's vision, aims, and key priorities
• Monitoring performance: Ensuring the school meets educational standards and statutory requirements
• Financial performance: Overseeing the budget and ensuring money is used effectively to support pupils
• Reviewing progress: Monitoring the impact of the school’s improvement and development plans
• Accountability: Holding the headteacher to account for the performance of the school
• Pupil welfare: Ensuring policies are in place to protect pupils and promote their health and wellbeing
• Christian ethos: Upholding the Christian Foundation of the school and working with the parish and wider organisations
• Staff appointments: Appointing the headteacher and involvement in other staff appointments
• The school community: Encouraging positive links with the parents and the wider community
