Governing Body
Garsington Primary School Governing Body
Our school governors come from a range of backgrounds, bringing together different skills, experiences and knowledge. We have several different types of governors:
Foundation
Co-opted
Parent
Staff
Associate
Governors do not act independently but together as a governing body with joint responsibility. The role of the governing body is a strategic one and its key functions are:
set the aims and objectives of the school
set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
set targets for achieving those aims and objectives
monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making
be a source of challenge and support to the Head
The governing body is structured into 5 subcommittees who deal with specific areas of school development:
Impact
Resources
Vision and Values
Pay Panel
Headteacher Performance Management
