Lovers' Lane Governing Body
Newark Lovers Lane primary school is a maintained school. The governing body is constituted under the School Governance (Constitution) (England) Regulations 2012.
The governors act in the best interests of the pupils at the school by providing strategic leadership, holding the head teacher to account and making sure the school’s money is well spent.
The Governing Body is not responsible for the day to day operation of the school – that is a matter for the Headteacher.
The make up (constitution) of the Governing Body is:
One headteacher
Six co-opted governors
One Local Authority governor
Two parent governors
One staff governor
