 Governors of the 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 involves in all aspects of the school including these main areas:

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 Education Authority (LEA) Governors - appointed by the local authority

4. Community Governors - community representaatives invited to join the Governing Body and elected by the other members of the body

Governors are nominated or elected by the bodies they represent, except co-opted governors who are invited to serve by the governing body itself.  All governors serve for four years from their date of appointment.  If a governor resigns within that time, their nominating body is required to nominate or elect a replacement as soon as possible.

As and when a vacancy arises for a parent representative, the school will notify all parents or guardians who have children registered at the school that a vacancy exists.
