Governing Body

The school’s Governing Body is ultimately responsible for everything that happens in school.  They meet at least once each term.  Governors can be contacted via Mrs S Lloyd in the school office.

Governing Body Rationale

As a governing body, we are very proud to work together in partnership with the Headteacher, Staff and Parents, to ensure the provision of a good education for our children at Tividale Community Primary School.

As a Governing Body we aim to support the school in all areas to ensure that every child thrives and gets the best possible education whilst at Tividale Community Primary School.

We set targets for improvement and ensure that the National Curriculum is delivered in an effective manner and that pupil outcomes are good.

The Governing Body is made up of elected parents, representatives of the local community, school staff (including the Headteacher) and members appointed by the Local Education Authority.

Our role is to provide a strategic direction for the school and to also provide oversight of the school management. In order for us to help our school provide the best possible education for our pupils, we:

• think and work strategically to help raise standards
• monitor and evaluate progress towards the school’s priorities
• support the Headteacher and staff to challenge their expectations
• account to all stakeholders for the school’s performance and for the decisions we make.

We are involved in areas of school management such as:

• the financial management of the school
• the curriculum
• pupil welfare and discipline
• appointment and dismissal of staff
• property and buildings
• links with parents
• community links
• health and safety.

Individual governors have special responsibilities (for example special needs and safeguarding) and we have committees to manage Finance and Staffing, Premises, Health and Safety and the Curriculum.

We have a responsibility to ensure that decisions are implemented, and that we evaluate their effectiveness. To do this we receive information from the Headteacher, SMT members, other staff and fellow governors and we also make visits to school.

Full Governing Body meetings are held once a term.
