Your School Governors

Our school is federated with Culworth CE Primary Academy and we have one governing body across both schools.

Our governors work across both schools but we make sure we have representation from both communities.

​Types of Governor

Foundation Governors are appointed by the Diocese of Peterborough. Parent Governors are appointed through direct election by parents. Staff Governors are appointed by the School.

What do Governors Do?

The best way to define the role of a School Governor is that of a 'critical friend' - someone who cares passionately about the school but is also able to see where things can be improved and to make sure that it is done.

Schools are run by a governing body working with the Head Teacher and senior management team. Governing bodies make their decisions based on the advice of various committees that deal with specific issues like the school's curriculum, premises or finances. These committees are staffed by members of the governing body and teaching staff of the school who work together to ensure the children in the school are given the best opportunity to develop to their full potential.

The full governing body meets at six times a year and the committees at least once a term. Governors also have special responsibility for one or more curriculum subject(s) or areas,eg Safeguarding, and we expect governors to take an interest in their nominated responsibility and to visit the school and report back to the full Governing Body on pre-agreed matters within this subject or area.

All new governors attend an introductory governor training session and are allocated a mentor.

The functions of the governing body include:-
• providing strategic management
• acting as a critical friend to the school
• ensuring accountability
• promoting high standards of education and achievement
• planning the schools’ long term future
• setting the school’s aims and values
• appointing senior members of staff including the Head Teacher
• budgetary allocation and control
