GOVERNORS
The governing body has a range of duties and powers and a general responsibility for the conduct of the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement. Biggin Hill Primary School and Cleeve Primary School have a merged Local Governing Body, and meet as one body.
There is an increasing body of evidence which indicates that formal collaborations between schools, that is consolidated through cross-school governance arrangements and shared accountability improve school performance.
These include the following:
- Shared accountability can lead to better progress and attainment for pupils, and help schools meet rising expectations.
- School leaders and teachers can share thinking and planning to spread expertise and tackle challenges together.
- Governors can work more strategically, especially during challenging times.
- School leaders can work together to find different solutions to recruitment challenges, to retain staff by providing new opportunities within the group, and to plan succession more effectively.
- Groups of schools can find it easier to provide richer curricular and extra-curricular activities.
- Shared professional development can more easily be arranged, whether led by staff from one of the schools or an outside body
- target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
- develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
- prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
- address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks
Its responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Setting targets for pupil achievement.
- Managing the school’s finances.
- Making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based.
- Appointing staff.
- Reviewing staff performance and pay.
