Your School Governors

The Governing Body has three core functions:

• Ensuring the clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
• Holding the headteacher to account for the performance of the school’s staff and pupils.
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

As well as working as a collective group, governors also take on individual responsibility for particular areas. Every year governors review the school’s performance and help the leadership team to set the strategic priorities, which for 2018 – 2019 are:

• Ensuring the maths mastery curriculum is embedded to increase progress for cohorts and groups.
• Embedding the English mastery curriculum to ensure pupils are able to apply key skills and make at least expected progress.
• To provide a rich, broad and stimulating curriculum within a limited budget.
• To ensure that pupils’ wellbeing and mental health needs are met so pupils can achieve in all aspects of their lives (year two of three-year priority).

Our governors produce a newsletter each term to keep you up to date with their work. If you’d like to get in touch with your governing team, please email j.robinson@thurgolandprimary.org
