The Governing Body meets at least once a term, but usually more often. Governors have Standing Orders to follow; these are regulations and guidelines as to how the Governors fulfil their duties. We do not have separate Curriculum, Personnel and Finance Committees, rather these are all considered in Full Governing Body meetings. Our Pay Committee consists of Guy Adams, Ruth Hobbs and Rev Jo Stobart.
The governors have very wide ranging responsibilities; oversight of the curriculum and pupil attainment, performance of staff, the health and safety of all those using the school, the school’s finances- and more. In practice, they delegate much of this to the Headteacher on a day to day basis, but work with the Headteacher and staff to set the direction of the school and the policies it operates within.
We also have nominated Governors for specific areas, currently these are:
NQT – Rev Jo Stobart
Learning & Progress – Niall Whitehouse
