Meet Our Governing Body

Our school is guided by a clear vision and set of values: "All different-all equal, Let your colours shine, Be the best you can be." These principles are at the heart of everything we do, including the work of our dedicated Governing Board.

The Role of the Governing Board

We have one governing board for the Federation and they play a vital role in the effective and efficient running of the school. While the day-to-day management is delegated to the Head Teacher, the Governing Board is ultimately responsible for:

• Ensuring a clear vision and strategic direction for the school
• Holding the Head Teacher accountable for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, as well as the performance management of staff
• Overseeing the financial management of the school to ensure resources are well spent

The Composition of the Governing Board

The Governing Board is made up of the following members:

• Local Authority Governors: Nominated by the local authority and appointed by the Governing Board
• Co-Opted Governors: Appointed by the Governing Board, with a term of office of 3 years
• Parent Governors: Elected by other parents in the Federation
• The Head Teacher: A member of the Governing Board by virtue of their office
• Staff Governors: Elected by the Federation staff
• Associate Members: Appointed by the Governing Board to provide additional expertise, but without voting rights

This diverse representation ensures that the Governing Board has a range of perspectives and expertise to draw upon when making decisions that support the school's vision and values.

Commitment to the School Community

Our Governing Board is deeply committed to the school and the wider community it serves. By working closely with the Head Teacher and staff, the Governing Board plays a vital role in shaping the direction of the schools and ensuring that all children have the opportunity to "Let their colours shine" and "Be the best they can be."
