About the Governing Body
The Education Reform Act 1988 considerably increased the responsibilities of Governing Bodies in all state controlled schools. School governors are responsible for overseeing virtually all aspects of school life, which are in turn delegated to the Head Teacher. She is responsible for the day to day running and organisation of the school.
The term of office is four years from the point of election, but occasionally a parent, co-opted or teacher governor may no longer be able to continue serving, or may become ineligible. In this case, an interim election will be held. All parents are kept informed of such developments.
The main forum of discussion is the meeting of the full Governing Body, held termly. Most business, however, is carried out in two sub-committees that address the following areas:
Children, Families & Learning
Resources
Members of the Governing Body serve on one of these sub-committees, the Head Teacher and the Chair of Governors on both. All Governors are assigned with specific aspects of the School to monitor.
