Governors

The Governing Body 
The Governing Body is responsible for determining the aims and overall conduct of the school with a view to helping the school provide the best possible education for its pupils. In doing so it must comply with the requirements laid down by the Department for Education and Employment and Gloucestershire Education Authority.

The Governing Body currently consists of twelve governors, one of whom is the Head Teacher. Two parent governors are elected by the parents; one staff governor elected by all staff; one  Local Authority governor and seven co-opted governors chosen by the governing body themselves. Governors normally serve for four years at a time.

A list of the present Governors is given below. Please feel free to make contact if you have any problems or queries - this can be done via the school office.

A Message from our Governors

Most of the pupils starting in our Reception Class are likely to receive more than half of their full time education at this school. During this time they will grow from small children to near teenagers and their development during these crucial years will set the path for the rest of their lives. You will have read on page three of this section the Vision Statement and aims for the school which make it clear that within a happy, caring and secure environment each child will be encouraged to develop to their full potential in all areas. We have an excellent Head Teacher and a talented and dedicated staff, who continue to develop the caring atmosphere which is a tradition of the school, whilst working to raise standards of academic achievement. We are of the firm belief that this is a good, well run school where all children can thrive but a child's education is a partnership between the school, the child and their parents. Those who will thrive most are those whose parents take an active interest in all of their child's school activities.

REGISTER OF BUSINESS INTERESTS OF HEADTEACHERS AND GOVERNORS

The Personnel, Finance and Premises Committee is responsible for discussing decisions and issues relating the staff, value for money, the building and our grounds (including health and safety). They advise Full Governor meetings of decisions made and future plans.

The Self-Evaluation Committee is responsible for matters to do with teaching and learning. They monitor the School Development Plan regularly by meeting with key staff, completing book looks, learning walks in school and talking to pupils. Again, they advise Full Governor Meetings as needed for ratification of decisions.
