Governors

The School Governing Body consists of:

The Headteacher
Co-opted staff and community members
A Local authority representative
Representatives from Parents

The Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day leadership and management of the school.

The role of the Governing Body is to provide strategic direction and act as a “critical friend,” supporting the work of the headteacher and other staff.

Park Spring Primary has a delegated budget to cover salaries, running costs, maintenance and equipment; the Governing Body is responsible for managing this budget.

Governors must also appoint the Head and are involved in the appointment of other staff and also have a role in monitoring the school’s progress. Governors also take responsibility for a specific subject area and undertake class visits.

At Park Spring, the Full Governing Body meets four times a year and the Headteacher provides a report for three of the termly meetings.

This report discusses:-

Achievements and Standards
School Improvement Plan
Staffing
Pupils
Parents and the Community
Leadership and Management
Premises and Resources
Finance

There are three committees which discuss in detail the points raised in the reports and a strategic committee which plans the way forward for the governing body:-
