Governors
Membership of the Governing Body
Governing Body Meetings 2009/10
The Governing Body is responsible for overseeing the management of the school and is responsible for ensuring that legal and education requirements placed on the school are appropriately met.
The key focus of the Governing Body in recent years has been the raising of core education standards, whilst maintaining the school’s outstanding approach to whole child development - thereby ensuring our children have the best possible foundation for secondary school education and life as young adults.
Our Governing Body is made up of 15 Governors, consisting of the Headteacher, one member of the teaching staff, one member of the non-teaching staff, five parents, three individuals appointed by Education Leeds (the body responsible for education in Leeds) and four members of the wider community.
In addition to statutory committees required by law, Governors have established four principal committees to coordinate and manage the work of the Governing Body.
The Committees, together with their Chairs are as follows:
-
Buildings and Health & Safety Committee (Brian Scarth)
-
Finance Committee (Jason Willis)
-
Personnel Committee (Liz Ross)
-
School Improvement Committee (David Smart)
The current Chair of the Governing Body is a Parent Governor, Ian White. Ian has been a Governor at our school since 2002 and Chair since September 2004.
