The three core functions of a governing body as indicated in Ofsted's inspection criteria are setting a strategic direction for the school, creating robust accountability and ensuring financial probity. Governing bodies have a number of statutory duties that need to be fulfilled.
Together with the Headteacher, Governors are responsible for making sure the school provides a good quality education for all children and supports their well-being, they do the following:
- Set the vision and strategic direction of the school
- Provide challenge and support to the Headteacher, by holding the Headteacher accountable for educational performance
- Make decisions together on matters such as performance, targets, school policies and the School Development Plan
- Monitor the impact of policies and oversee school budget and staffing
- Report on school achievements and respond to inspection recommendations
- Hear appeals from pupils and staff and consider complaints.
Governors fulfil these duties by:
- Visiting the school on a regular basis;
- Attending Governor Board meetings that take place twice per term;
- Asking questions and considering documents prepared by the school;
- Challenging the Headteacher in a constructive way;
- Developing and supporting the values of the school.
The Governing Body (GB) of Five Elms Primary School consists of the people listed below:
