Governors
Who are we?
Governors
All schools in England have a Governing Body which is responsible for overseeing many of the strategic decisions of the school. A key role is to act as a ‘critical friend’ to support, to challenge, to ask questions, ultimately to represent the school community.
The Governing Body works in close partnership with the headteacher, staff and the local authority. Whilst the headteacher is, of course, responsible for the day to day running of the school, the governors are involved with such things as staffing, curriculum, school buildings and finance. It ensures the school functions well and maintains the proper range of academic and social objectives.
The standard term of office for a governor is four years. The chair and vice-chair are elected annually at the first meeting of the academic year.
The chair of governors is Ms Amanda Evans, who can be contacted via the school office.
The Governing Body meets four times each year. Much of the work of the Governing Body is done by committees which meet at least every term (three times in the year).

The Staffordshire Governance Association Forum
The Staffordshire Governance Association Forum has updated the format of the interactive discussion forum. This will now allow every governor signed up to the site to start a discussion and debate or ask for advice and guidance for colleagues across the county. The site also acts as a central depository for official documents to support governance and examples of best practice which can be used as a serving suggestion for use or adaption. Please follow the link to find further information and sign up to the discussion forum
