Full Governing Body Committee

 

Staffing and Finance Committee

 

Curriculum & Standards Committee

 

Governors work on a voluntary basis, i.e, Governors are not paid for their duties. Governors attend training sessions to prepare them for their role. Governing Bodies have many responsibilities and they need to make decisions about how these should be carried out. A large part of the work involved relates to school improvement, so governors specialise in certain topics, such as Literacy, Numeracy, Special Needs, Assessment and Teaching and Learning. It is often necessary to spend more time than we have at the regular Governor meeting to discuss policies, budgets or reports. This work is delegated to committees Governors also regularly spend time in school monitoring elements of the School Improvement Plan.

 

The committees in place at Cradley CE Primary are:-

 

The Curriculum & Standards Committee

This committee reviews and monitors the curriculum and the learning and progress that children make. They review and develop policies linked to teaching and learning.

 

Staffing and Finance Committee

This committee make decisions about the school budget and monitors the spending in the school, ensuring that the principles of best practice are applied.

 

Fabric Committee

This committee reviews the school buildings and grounds and is responsible for ensuring the school site is safe and that it presents an exciting and pleasant learning environment.

 

Foundation Committee

This committee has a particular responsibility for developing and monitoring the Christian distinctiveness of the school as a Church of England school. Foundation governors are also responsible for ensuring that the terms of the trust deed are upheld.

 

Representatives from our Governing body attended our open evening  in March. Governors asked parents for feedback on initiatives introduced to support our school improvement plan. The feedback received was very useful and will support school self evaluation.
