Summary of Governor Information 2024-2025
Our Board of Governors
The school has a close working relationship with its Governors who are drawn from all areas of the community. They have an active role in the school attending school events and visiting the school in both a formal and informal manner; in so doing providing the local authority and parents alike with an assurance that we are providing the best education possible for our children.
The Board of Governors is responsible for ensuring that the school provides the best possible education for the children, and that it fulfils all their legal requirements. A school’s governing body helps to set the school’s aims, review its policies and ensure a clarity of vision. Broadly, the responsibilities of a governing body sit under three functions:
-
Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
-
Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
-
Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
We currently have vacancies for the Board of Governors. If you, or a family member, are interested and want to know more, please contact Sheila Bloomfield (Chair) - sheila.bloomfield@ventrus.org.uk or visit/ring the school office for more information.
