We have therefore summarised below the overall purpose of the Local Governing Board together with the two key sub-committees we operate; Pupil Quality Assurance (PQA) and Business. Local Governing Board – We provide the following to the school and its senior leadership team: A strategic view of the school by establishing a vision and setting the purpose and aims of the school within an agreed policy framework. In conjunction with the Trust, we appoint and performance manage the headteacher, agreeing the school improvement strategy; Monitor and evaluate the work of the school by reviewing the performance of the headteacher, the effectiveness of the policy framework, progress towards targets, and the effectiveness of the school improvement strategy; Sign off the self-evaluation process and respond to school improvement strategy and Ofsted reports as necessary. In addition, we hold the head teacher to account for the performance of the school and ensure that parents are involved, consulted and informed as appropriate. Pupil Quality Assurance Committee (PQA) – We provide an overview on the following, providing both review and recommendation to the local governing body. Curriculum & Teaching Safeguarding Communication Business Committee – We provide an overview on the following, providing both review and recommendation to the local governing body. Finance Staffing Training Premises Health & Safety Overall the Local Board of Governors consists of 14 people. A schedule of our current governors is provided below. These roles are fed by many routes, one of which is parents elected by parents. We very much hope that when these opportunities arise that you will be interested in joining the local board of governors – in this way we can constantly ensure that we are in tune with the needs of pupils, parents and the school.
