The Executive Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day running and management of the school, whilst the Governing Body are responsible for:
-
• Providing a strategic view to assist in the improvement of the school and to raise standards by working in association with the Headteacher and the teaching team – with support, advice and information drawn from the knowledge & experience of the serving governing members
-
• Providing both a support & challenge role – by monitoring the school’s effectiveness and continuing to challenge where required and pressing for ongoing improvements in our performance and standards
-
• Providing accountability – to the parents and the wider community.
-
Monitoring budgets and making sure that we are compliant in key areas such as Child Protection and Health and Safety.
-
Reviewing and updating the many statutory and non-statutory policies which underpin every aspect of school life.
All Governors provide their time on a voluntary basis, and in addition to serving on the Full Governing Body, serve on various other sub-committees which meet regularly to cover:
-
Curriculum: monitoring the curriculum and school’s performance against key criteria
-
Finance, Health, Safety and Premises: approving & monitoring the school’s budget and Health & Safety
-
Personnel: monitoring the schools staff and management including recruitment, performance and pay
-
We always welcome any feedback – positive or otherwise – and are delighted to hear from any parent at any time.
