Governors
The governors believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.
The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender, and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.
Due to our relatively small governing board, we will not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
A school governor is a member of a school's governing body, which is made up of volunteers. Governors work with the Executive Headteacher and staff to help raise standards of achievement, and ensure the schools are well run. They help the Federation agree and maintain standards by setting, monitoring and reaching targets.
A governing body's main duties include:
- accountability for the performance of the school
- setting strategic direction, policies and objectives
- planning the school's future direction
- approving the school budgets
- appointing, challenging and supporting the Executive Headteacher
- making decisions about the school's budget and staffing
- making sure a broad range of subjects is taught, that meet Government requirements
- ensuring that the school provides for pupils
The Village Schools Federation Governing Board meet at-least once per term to review the current status of the school, and the sub committees meet at least once per term.
If you are interested in joining the Governing body, please contact the Chair of Governors via the School Office.
