Governors at Heather Primary School

​

Our Gov­ern­ing Body takes a pride in the car­ing ethos of the school, which encour­ages all the chil­dren to achieve their full poten­tial. A unity of pur­pose gives the school a firm base upon which to build, and reg­u­lar train­ing for all staff and gov­er­nors’ work­ing within the school sup­ports this.

​

Heather Primary School has  up to twelve Governors who sit on the Full Governing Body. Every Governor is also assigned to one of the governing body's committees, according to their skill, experience and interest. These are the Finance & Resources Committee, Pay Committee and the Achievement Committee. Terms of reference for the committees can be found below:

Gov­er­nors are aware of the diverse back­grounds of the chil­dren within the school and take care to sup­port the Headteacher in iden­ti­fy­ing needs spe­cific to the catch­ment. (e.g. Base­line assess­ment & use of data to iden­tify more able / SEN chil­dren). They are com­mit­ted to a pol­icy of bud­getary allo­ca­tion that reflects the spe­cific needs of the school.

Par­ents’ involve­ment in their children’s edu­ca­tion, both through work­ing with the chil­dren at home and in sup­port­ing the day to day life of the school, is actively encour­aged and Gov­er­nors endorse this belief by work­ing in the class­rooms along­side the teach­ers on a reg­u­lar basis, when this is pos­si­ble, and are com­mit­ted to devel­op­ing their knowl­edge of the school and curriculum. 

There is a firm com­mit­ment to com­mu­nity involve­ment, both in sup­port of the school cur­ricu­lum and in rela­tion to fund-raising where the school reg­u­larly orga­nises col­lec­tions for indi­vid­u­als or groups, as well as tak­ing advan­tage of pro­mo­tional fund-raising events that sup­port the school’s resource needs. 

​
