Governors
The Governing Body is
made up of 5 foundation
governors, 4 Oxfordshire
County Council nominees,
6 parent governors, 2
teacher governors, a
staff governor, the
Headteacher, and 2 co-opted
governors. The Governing
Body is responsible for
making decisions about a
range of issues, for
example, the schools
curriculum, sex
education, the schools
delegated budget,
premises developments etc.
There are governors
committees for
curriculum, personnel,
facilities and finance.
Governors meet six times
per year, with committee
meetings as necessary.
Parent Governors
Parent governors are
elected by the parents,
and serve for a period of
four years. They have an
important rôle helping
to determine school
policies, and in making
decisions about finance,
staff appointments and
the development of the
school generally. They
also provide another link
between parents and the
school.
Any parent with a matter
of concern is welcome to
contact a parent governor.
They will generally
recommend that parents
first raise specific
matters concerning their
son/daughter directly
with the school staff but
are always pleased to
help if needed. On
general matters, for
example concerning school
policy, the parent
governor may well be the
best person to approach.
