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:-

• Resources and Building
• Teaching & Learning and Pupil Support

There is  a Performance Management Sub-Committee which reviews the Headteacher’s performance annually.
