Supporting Success at Calmore Junior School
At Calmore Junior School, our Governing Body plays a vital role in shaping the direction and success of our school. The governors work collaboratively with the headteacher, staff, and parents to ensure that every pupil receives the best possible education in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
Who Are the Governors?
Our Governing Body is made up of a diverse group of individuals, including:
- Parent Governors: Elected by the parents of our pupils, they represent the views and interests of families.
- Staff Governors: Members of the school staff who bring valuable insights into daily school operations.
- Co-opted Governors: Selected for their skills and expertise to enhance the Governing Body’s effectiveness.
- Local Authority Governors: Appointed by the local authority to provide external perspective and support.
- Associate Members: Specialists who contribute to specific areas of governance.
This mix of skills and backgrounds ensures that our Governing Body is well-equipped to make informed decisions for the benefit of the entire school community.
What Do Governors Do?
Governors provide strategic leadership and oversight in several key areas:
- Setting the Vision and Values
- Defining the ethos and long-term direction of the school.
- Ensuring Accountability
- Monitoring and evaluating the school’s performance.
- Supporting and challenging school leaders to drive improvement.
- Financial Oversight
- Ensuring the school budget is managed effectively and resources are used efficiently.
- Safeguarding and Wellbeing
- Making sure that all pupils and staff are safe, supported, and thriving.
Governors do not get involved in the day-to-day running of the school. Instead, they focus on strategic decision-making to support the headteacher and staff in delivering an outstanding education.
