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:
Finance & Resources Committee and Pay Committee Terms of Reference
Achievement Committee Terms of Reference
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.
