The articles of government for our size school require us to have:
5 elected parent governors
1 LA governor
1 Headteacher
1 elected staff governor
7 co-opted governors (of which up to 3 could be members of staff).
The usual route for raising questions, making comments, or airing concerns about the school is via a class teacher or headteacher. However, parents and others are welcome to contact any governors they wish to do so.
The Role of the Governing Board
Recent education legislation and guidance have placed increasing emphasis on the role of school governors in providing strategic leadership and accountability.
At Newnham Croft Primary School, the governing board works in close partnership with the headteacher and school leaders to ensure the best possible outcomes for all pupils.
The governing board’s responsibilities include:
-
Setting the school’s vision, values, and strategic direction
-
Ensuring safeguarding and wellbeing for all pupils and staff
-
Monitoring educational standards and curriculum provision
-
Ensuring provision for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
-
Overseeing the school’s financial performance
-
Supporting and holding the headteacher to account
-
Appointing and overseeing staff in line with employment and safeguarding regulations
-
Monitoring and reviewing the School Development Plan (SDP)
-
Ensuring the effective use and condition of the school premises
-
Engaging with parents and the wider community
-
Responding to external inspection and evaluation
