Structure and Responsibilities of the Governing Body at Lovers’ Lane Primary and Nursery School
The Governing Body of Lovers’ Lane Primary and Nursery School meets on a termly basis as a Full Governing Body to make decisions concerning the overall direction of the School. The members are drawn from various backgrounds and it is always the intention of the Governing Body to be as open as possible in fulfilling its aims.
Their main role is to support the Headteacher and staff; the phrase often used to describe the role is ‘a critical friend’. The Governing Body is not responsible for the day-to-day operation of the school – that is a matter for the Headteacher.
The governors legal duties include:
- Setting the strategic direction, policies and targets for the school.
- Approving the school budget.
- Reviewing progress against the school’s budget and objectives.
- Challenging and supporting the Headteacher.
Register of Business Interests
The Governing Body has a legal duty to act only in the interests of the school. Where a situation arises in which a governor cannot do this due to a personal interest, steps are taken to identify, prevent and record the conflict in the governing body minutes. A declaration of interest is included on every governing body meeting Agenda. In addition to this all governors complete a declaration annually.
Lovers’ Lane Primary and Nursery School Governing Body Structure
There are several categories of governor appointed by different groups who have an interest in the school.
