Chalkhill Governing Body

The role of the Chalkhill governing body, like all school governing bodies, is to ensure that the school delivers high standards of achievement within a broad and balanced curriculum for every child.

This involves:

• Ensuring clarity of the schools’ vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding the Head Teacher and Leadership team to account by monitoring the educational performance of the schools and their pupils.
• Overseeing the financial performance of the schools and making sure the funding is well spent, by seeking value for money and targeting resources to areas that will best help your children achieve their full potential.

All the governors sit on one of two committees – resources, or curriculum and standards. Some have a specific area of oversight and are known as link governors.

We also try and visit school as often as possible to see for ourselves how the school is functioning. We do this by meeting with subject leaders, attending some staff training, observing in class, being involved in workshops and assemblies and attending parent’s evenings when appropriate.

The governors come from a range of backgrounds and have different skills, but we could not do our job without the expertise of the Headteacher, Leadership Team, Staff Governors and all the amazing staff at Chalkhill Primary.

We all want to give your children the best possible chance to succeed in life and we believe with the right commitment from everyone, the children, the governors, the staff and yourselves, we will forge a dynamic partnership that will enable this to happen.
