About School Governors

Governors of a school have legal duties powers and responsibilities within the school to ensure that the school provides the best possible education for all it’s pupils. They act together to do this.
The Governors are involved in all aspects of the school including these main areas:

  1. Making decisions about how the school budget is used.
  2. Setting standards of behaviour
  3. Making sure that the National Curriculum is being followed
  4. Interviewing and selecting staff for the school
  5. Drawing up the School Development Plan to ensure the school maintains its efficiency

There are four categories of school Governors:

  1. Parent Governors - elected by other parents, they have a child in the school
  2. Staff Governors – elected by other members of staff
  3. Local Authority (LA) Governors – appointed by the local authority
  4. Community Governors – community representatives invited to join the Governing Body and elected by the other members of the Body

All Governors serve a term of office of three years from when they  start.  The start date can be at any time in the academicyear.  A list of current governors is displayed in the reception area of the school.

Arrangements for the consideration of complaints:
Arrangements have been set out indicating how any person may make a complaint concerning the provision of the curriculum including religious education and collective worship.

The procedure defines three levels at which a complaint can be made:

  1. The informal level
  2. The formal complaint to the Governing Body of the school
  3. The formal complaint to the LA.

Many complaints or potential complaints can best be resolved within the school in discussion with the Head teacher or other members of staff. This informal approach is recommended as the best starting point and will usually bring about the quickest solution. However should this informal stage fail to resolve an issue, then the complaint should be made first in writing to the Governing Body of the school, and then if still not resolved in writing to the LA.

Further information on making a complaint including the full document on this procedure is available on request from the school.
N.B. Parents asking for copies of official documents  may be charged for any photocopying costs incurred.
