Governors
The role of the Governing Body is to provide strategic direction and act as a “critical friend”. The day to day management of the school is the responsibility of the headteacher and senior leadership team.
The governing body re-constituted in January 2014 when the school joined the Aireborough Learning Partnership Co-operative Trust and comprises 12 governors, each of which holds a term of office for four years. The governing body comprises:
- 1 Headteacher
- 1 Elected Staff governor
- 4 Elected Parent governors
- 1 Local Authority governor
- 3 Co-opted governors
- 2 Trust governors
All governors attend the full governing body meeting once per term and are also assigned to a sub committee, which also meets once per term. The sub committees are:
- Resources - responsible for budget, health and safety and premises
- Teaching and Learning - responsible for curriculum, assessment, SEN
- Staffing - responsible for personnel, staffing, performance management
