Welcome from our Chair of Governors
Stanbridge Lower School is a key part of the community and Governors have a vital role to play in helping to make sure that every child has the best start to their school life.
We support the Headteacher using our diverse knowledge and experience to add value to the strategic decision-making process of the school, while the Head continues to have responsibility for the day to day management of the school.
The Governing Body has a clear structure, and responsibilities are delegated to the following committees:
Finance, Resources & Personnel: setting the school budget, monitoring spending, staffing structure, pay and salaries, HR issues, as well as premises; health and safety, building maintenance and school grounds.
Pupil & Curriculum: raising standards and monitoring data outcomes, inclusion, behaviour, attendance, developing the school curriculum, inclusion, health and emotional well being.
Publicity: school brochure, website compliance, promoting our school in the community
Head Teacher Appraisal: setting targets to further develop standards in our school.
We are currently looking for a LA Governor with specialised knowledge, skills and experience that can contribute to the effective governance and success of our school. Please speak with Mrs McGregor if you are interested and would like to apply.
