Meet the Governors

Fordbridge Primary Governing Body

Our Governing Body play an important role in supporting the development of our school.

The Governing Body are responsible for:

  • Ensuring the school is operating within the ethos set out in our vision and values.
  • Contributing to the key strategic priorities.
  • Monitoring the quality of teaching and learning, attendance, behaviour and safety, within the school and progress against the school improvement plan.
  • Holding school leaders to account for improvement of standards in the school.
  • Deciding on how the resources of the school are best used.
  • Ensuring compliance with the policy for Safeguarding and that we maintain a ‘culture of vigilance’ in respect of all safeguarding matters.
  • Supporting the appointment of staff

To deliver this effectively the Governor team members are representative of all the key groups involved in our school – Parents, Staff and the Local Authority. Some are appointed, and some are elected. All serve for a term of four years.

We meet at least once a term as a whole team, and in five sub groups:

  • Staff and Finance
  • Buildings, Health and Safety,
  • Scrutiny of Standards
  • Safeguarding
  • Inclusion 

Please see below the members of the Fordbridge Primary Governing Body.
