The Governing Body of All Saints Infants School met four times during the 2019-20 academic year. During the year, the Governing Body delegated some of its functions to the School Matters Committee, the membership of which was chosen from the full Governing Body. The primary focus of the School Matters Committee was the management of the school’s budget, and decision-making regarding premises matters.
The Governing Body is responsible for setting the strategy of the school and monitoring its implementation. It is supported in this regard by a Strategy Committee. Governors expect that the school will promote and deliver the highest possible standards of provision for pupils in terms of safeguarding, curriculum, health and safety and environment. Governors are responsible for the conduct of the school in all areas. All Governors are involved in setting and monitoring the school's aims and policies and may be involved in hearing appeals or grievances.
Key roles of the Governing Body:
Strategic Aims of the Governing Body:
Effectiveness of the Governing Body.
We are continuously striving to maintain the highest standards within the Governing Body. We undertake an annual evaluation of our effectiveness and a skills audit. Each Governor has a designated role and is responsible for matters relating to that role. We are aware of the skills that each Governor brings to the school and those areas in which we are short. We seek external advice and guidance to help in these areas and as far as possible recruit Governors with appropriate skills to fill our vacancies. We ensure that governors have access to relevant training and development activities in order to maximise their effectiveness as a governor and the effectiveness of the governing body as a whole.
A review of governance during the summer of 2020 has resulted in some changes to governance arrangements for 2020-21. Though the Strategy Committee will continue to operate, the business previously delegated to the School Matters Committee will be dealt with by the full Governing Body. This will also mean that the Governing Body is scheduled to meet six times in 2020-21, once per half term.
