Dear Parents and Carers,
Parent Governor Vacancy
The governors are seeking applications from parent/carers
for the above role. A vacancy has arisen
due to the resignation of Mrs Karon Attwood who has been a very valuable member
of the governing body and will be missed.
We wish her well as she takes on further professional development.
What is the role of Governors? -What are they for?
Governors are a group of twelve people with a keen
interest and commitment to support the education and spiritual development of
all pupils.
Responsibilities Include:
- Development
strategic plan for school.
- Determining
aims, policies and priorities of the school.
- Setting
targets.
- Monitoring and
evaluating the work of the school.
- Appointment of
staff and involvement with budget monitoring.
- Ensuring
health, safety and well being of school community.
Governors are not responsible for the day to day
management. This role remains with the
staff and senior management.
For further information please contact the school office
with your name and contact number and a governor will be able, and willing, to
answer any questions.
Thank you - Mrs Shelagh Williams (Chair of Governors)
