I was elected as parent governor in early 2018. My daughter has just moved into Year Seven at Campion and my son is in Year Four.  Given the involvement of my children in the school, I of course have a vested interest in its future; however, I joined the governing body for other reasons beyond this. 


I am a lawyer working in-house at a large automotive company with years of experience relevant to the role I have on the resources committee. In addition to this, I am really keen on assisting the school develop its strategic approach. I am proud of the school and its ethos and want to help it to continue to offer children the best start in life through education. 


I am here to play a part in ensuring the continued development of the opportunities for the children of the school (present and future) so that they may realise their potential.

What do the Governors do?

Welcome to the Governors section of our school website. We thought you might like to know a little bit about us and what we do.

 

The Governing Body, Headteacher and senior staff form the school’s Leadership and Management team and share responsibility for the school.

 

The GB must hold the school to account for the standards it achieves.  It must ensure that all resources (including the school budget and staff) are properly used to meet the needs of all children and provide value for money.  Governors help to form the School Development Plan and are responsible for monitoring all aspects of its effectiveness in terms of outcomes for pupils.

 

The Governing Body appoints the Headteacher, and delegates to her responsibility for the day to day running of the school.

Who are the Governors?

The Governing Body is made up of four groups who represent the stakeholders of the school: staff, parents, the church (Foundation) and the Local Authority.  This range of people is intended to provide a broad and balanced selection of viewpoints and to represent each sector of the school’s community.  Individual governors cannot act or speak on behalf of the Governing Body; decisions are made by the board as a whole.

 

All Governors serve a four year period and may be re-elected.  There are 5 full governing body meetings each year. The minutes of the meetings are available on request from the Governing Body.  All correspondence should be sent to Mrs Cheryl Tomkinson, Clerk to the Governors, Pattishall CE Primary School.

Are you interested in becoming a Governor?

What does the work involve?

The full Governing Body meets approximately once every half term. There are documents that need to be read in preparation for all meetings.

 

There are also working parties to deal with aspects of work that come up from time to time, such as SEN, Equality policies etc.

 

Governors visit often to gain a working knowledge of the school as well as on a more official basis to formally monitor aspects of the School Development Plan.

What qualifications are needed?

No formal qualifications are required, just a desire to put experience and life skills to good use.

 

Governors are people with an interest in education and a belief in working together to improve outcomes for local children. They are people who have a few hours to spare each month, and enjoy being part of a team.

It seems like an awful lot of work – why do it?

Most people find it very rewarding to be part of the school team, working in partnership with staff and the community, to secure the best possible education for the children of Pattishall CE Primary School. All governors are welcomed and each plays a vital role in ensuring the governing body is aware of the views of all stakeholders.

 

For more information about becoming a governor, contact the Chair of Governors or the Head Teacher. Please note that for the protection of children all governor appointments are subject to a vetting process and identity check.
