Our core three functions are:
How do we achieve this?
The full Governing Body meets six times a year, twice each term, but we also have two sub committees which both meet every term.
These are:
We also link all governors to specific areas of responsibility within the School Development Plan in order to drive forward School Improvements.
There are a number of other committees that only meet if required.
We have responsibility for the parental questionnaire sent out once a year; we attend parents evenings to meet and greet parents and are involved with whole school planning on Inset days. Where possible we join in with the fun events too which take place throughout the year.
Throughout we are supported by the Local Authorities Governor Support Service who is there to offer help, advice and training when we need it.
The Governing Body are always pleased to meet parents and pupils to discuss their work and to receive feedback on how they can be even more effective in their role.
With the commitment of Miss Digweed and the staff I am sure you will agree that we are seeing great things happen on a regular basis. Our role as governors is to support them all in this process and ensure progress continues to be made.
