Welcome to our Governors’ section.

 

Governors have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education and opportunities from our school. The governors have to:

 

• Make sure that there is a clear idea of where the school aims to be in the next 5 years (the vision for the school), what kind of school we want it to be (its ‘ethos’) and how we are going to get there (its ‘strategic direction’).

 

• Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.

 

• Look at the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

 

Therefore governors aren’t responsible for the day-to-day running of the school – that’s the job of the headteacher.

 

A governor is elected or appointed for four years. Governors have the right and responsibility to express their view in discussions at the governing body and vote accordingly. However, once a decision has been taken all governors have a collective responsibility to support the decisions of the governing body and act together.

 

Organisation of the governing body

The full governing body meets at least 6 times a year. At different points during the year the meetings will have different focuses.

 

Meetings relating to school finances, the curriculum, the school grounds, staffing and community projects are held with the common purpose of ensuring that the children at Queen's Park Primary School receive the best possible education and make fantastic progress.

Below are the details of all the governors in the school in the previous year, what type of governor they are, what committee they are on and any positions they have.

 

 

 

Register of interests

 

The register of interests shows any relevant relationships or interests that governors have. We do this to ensure that there is transparency on the role of governors at the school.

 

 

 

Attendance at full governing body

The table below shows governors attendance at full governing body meetings over the last year. ‘NA’ means not applicable - this could mean a staff member on the governing body left the school or wasn’t yet on the governing body. A tick means the governor was at the meeting and a cross means they were absent.
