School Governors
The Governing Body of a Foundation school is responsible for all aspects of school life, including:
- An oversight of the conduct and curriculum of the school with
specific policies in sex education and religious worship.
- The management of the school budget and other grants received
from central government.
- Monitoring the extent to which the school achieves its aims and
objectives.
- The appointment of teaching and non teaching staff.
- The maintenance and development of the school buildings and
facilities.
- The fostering of good relationships and effective communication with the parents and the wider community.
The Governing Body comprises:
- 5 Parent Governors
- 3 LEA Governors
- 2 Staff Governors
- Headteacher
- 3 Foundation Governors
- 3 Community Governors
The Governing Body meets formally
at least once a term, and minutes of these meetings are available to
parents. Each governor has a particular responsibility for an aspect
of school life, and regular reports of governor business in the form
of newsletters are sent to parents. The Governing Body does not make
detailed decisions on the day to day running of the school; this is
the role of the Headteacher. A successful school will have a close working
relationship between Headteacher and Governing Body. Such a relationship
exists at St. George's Primary School.
