Governors Information – Henleaze Infants School

The role of a Governor

The purpose of a Governing Body is to help provide the best possible education for pupils. Governors meet regularly with the Headteacher and staff to decide the school’s aims and policies, and to oversee the efficient running of the school. The Governors work in partnership with the school and local authority and have particular responsibility for:

Setting aims and planning for the future of the school
Agreeing targets to raise standards of achievement
Ensuring that the curriculum meets the needs of all pupils
Monitoring the school budget
Staffing issues, including appointing the Headteacher and other staff, and determining salaries
Deciding the school’s policies
Making sure all pupils have equal opportunities within the school and providing for pupils with special educational needs
Challenging and supporting the Headteacher, as a critical friend
Ensuring the school site is well maintained, safe and secure
Dealing with complaints about the school

The Governing Board of Henleaze Infant School meet at Full Governing Body meetings. In addition, a Resources Committee meeting is held once per term.

The Governing Board is made of staff at the school, parents and people appointed by the Governing Body because of their professional skills and experience.
