Welcome to our Governors’ section. 

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured.

Why do we need a governing body and what is it for?

Your governing body is made up of Staff representatives, Parent representatives, Local Authority Representatives, and Community Representatives.

As a governing body we provide a strategic view, setting the framework within which the Headteacher and staff run the school; setting the aims and objectives; agreeing policies, targets and priorities for achieving these objectives as well as monitoring and evaluating.

We act as a critical friend providing support and challenge to the head teacher and staff ensuring accountability to enable us to explain the decisions and actions of the governing body to anyone who has a legitimate interest.

Our main responsibilities are

Ensuring the school promotes high standards of educational achievement, attendance and behaviour, including the rigorous review of published performance data.

Setting targets by which progress for pupil achievement and outcomes can be measured.

Ensuring that all learners have access to a broad, balanced curriculum and that statutory requirements are met.

Determining the aims, policies and priorities of the school

Determining and monitoring the school’s budget.

Deciding the number of staff, the pay policy and making decisions on staff pay, staff appointments, etc.

Providing parents with information regarding the school – e.g., via annual report to parents and statutorily required meetings with parents.

Inspection preparation and follow up – including producing an action plan and monitoring progress following an inspection by Estyn.

The wellbeing and safeguarding of learners including the promotion of healthy eating.
