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:
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.
