They work closely with the Headteacher and have a general responsibility for overview of every aspect of the school, its activities and its welfare. They meet regularly to discuss the curriculum and other issues concerning the management of the school, and to appoint staff when necessary. Elected Parent Governors offer parents an important channel of communication and the opportunity to take part in the running of the school. Parent Governors generally serve for two years but may stand down when their child goes on to primary school if they so wish. The Governors currently prepare an annual report to parents during the summer term: click for the Governor's Report to Parents 2011 Governors of the school Name Governor type Committees/responsibilities Lesley Carrington Headteacher Health & safety Committee Leadership & safety committee Katherine Bull (Chair) Parent Governor Safeguarding Governor Curriculum committee Cllr Roz Smith LA Governor Leadership & Management Committee; Health & Safety committee David Knight LA Governor Health & Safety committee Anna Guarnieri Parent Governor Leadership and management committee Healthy Schools Julie Fisher Vice Chair Community Governor Curriculum Committee Discipline committee Polly Coles Associate Member Families and Community Committee; Curriculum Committee Bethan Baldwin Pat Bolton Staff Governor Curriculum Familiy and Community committee Janet Baum Staff Governor Curriculum Committee; St Andrew’s partnership steering group; SEN Governor Fran Toye Associate Governor St.Andrew’s Partnership link Katherine Bull Parent Governor Safeguarding Governor Curriculum committee Lisa Crook Associate Governor Health & Safety Committee Susannah Woodward Associate Governor Families and Community Committee Georgie Rawle Parent Governor Leadership & management committee Both the Chair and Clerk to the Governors can be contacted via the school.
