Academisation Consultation Information

The Governing Body

Governors meet six times per academic year in addition to any monitoring visits or Strategic Governor meetings that might occur. Our Governing Board consists of:

The Head Teacher
2 parent Governors
4 co-opted Governors
1 elected staff Governor
2 foundation Governors

The three core functions of a governing body, as reflected in Ofsted's inspection criteria are:

that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
that the headteacher performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the school
the sound, proper and effective use of the school’s financial resources

They are also responsible for specific actions such as ensuring that there is a procedure in place for handling complaints; approving the school budget; and appointing the headteacher.
