Contacting The Governing Body
 
The governing body is always happy to 
discuss its work with members of the school community and members of the board are often in and around school when informal contact can be made. Governors also attend major functions and parent’s evenings during the year when conversations about their work 
or issues of general interest can be discussed.  Failing this the Chair of governor’s can be contacted in writing via the school address.
 
Issues or queries relating to the overall 
provision of education are professional 
matters for the headteacher and all queries 
should be referred to her for discussion and 
resolution. The headteacher makes herself 
readily available to discuss concerns with 
parents and governors feel sure that issues 
can be speedily resolved through this route. 
In the rare event that this approach is not 
able to resolve the issue satisfactorily the 
governing body has adopted a complaints 
procedure which can be found under the 
policies section of this website. The Chair of 
governors will only become involved in 
individual issues of concern as part of the 
due procedure set out in this policy.
The role of the Governing Body is to support 
the school in delivering the best education 
possible for the pupils. Governors are not 
responsible for the day-to-day running of 
the school (that's Mrs Ellison’s job) but to 
monitor  and evaluate the school's progress 
and ensure accountability.
The Governors attend termly meetings to 
review the school development plan and 
discuss the quality of learning being 
provided for your children. Standards, 
teaching and learning, finance, health and 
safety and links with the community 
are also discussed.
The Governors serve for a period of four 
years and represent a variety of groups 
from the local community.
During the school year the governing body 
agree to work as a full body for all meetings 
in order to ensure that all new governors 
have a full understanding of all aspects of 
the life of the school.
