The small Winchester Primary School making a BIG impact!

Governors

The role of the governing board is a strategic one with three key functions:

 

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

 

2. Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils

 

3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

 


 

Over the year we share progress relating to our strategic objectives, as well as making transparent the work of the governing body, through termly updates. The minutes from our meetings, policies and procedures can be made available upon request by contacting the Clerk to the Governors on the page below.

Contact us

 

If you would like to raise a matter with the Governing Board you can do so through the following routes;

 

  • Contact the Chair of Governors
  • Contact the Lead Governor for the area that your matter relates to – see ‘Our Governors’ for the current list of names and lead areas;
  • Approach one of the parent governors.

 

Please bear in mind that governors are responsible for strategic, not operational matters. Any concerns regarding your child, teaching or other day-to-day matters should be raised with the relevant teacher or headteacher. In the unlikely event that this process does not resolve your matter then you should raise this with the Chair of Governors.
