Broadoak Primary School

Our Governing Body

 

The Governing Body has a general responsibility to ensure that the school is being effectively managed to meet the needs of all pupils, parent expectations and the interests of the wider community.  As an Academy, the Governing Body are required to hold a meeting for parents and friends to report on the progress, achievements and aspirations of the school during the academic year.  This provides an opportunity for parents to meet Governing Body and discuss points raised during the evening.

 

Our Governors are each in post for a period of 4 years and represent different stake-holders within the school.

Headteacher - the headteacher of any school is automatically a member of its Governing Body.

Parent Governors - these are elected by parent governors to represent the views of parents. The roles of the parent governors are important, and can be excellent ways to find out more about, and influence education in school.

Staff Governors - these are elected by our school staff and represent both teaching and non-teaching staff.

Local Authority Governors - the local authority can appoint a Governor in order to maintain links to the school.

Co-opted / Member Appointed Governors - the Governing Body can invite people to be governors and will often approach people with specific skills or experience. This is important to maintain both knowledge and continuity within the Governing Body.
