The Governing Body is a team of people who work in partnership with the Headteacher and ‘govern the school’. They appoint the Headteacher, set and monitor policies, decide how the school should spend its budget, foster good relations with parents, the local community and others, maintain and improve the school premises and make sure the appropriate Curriculum is provided, amongst other duties. They work as a team and take collective decisions, establishing committees and working parties as they consider appropriate.
Part of a Governor’s role is to challenge the Head.
The three main types of challenge are as follows:-
Gail Brown – Interim Chair
Tim Jolly – Headteacher – Staff governor
Leanne Bateson – Staff Governor
David Stubley – Trust Appointed Governor
Richard Adams – Trust Appointed Governor
Will Preston – Trust Appointed Governor
