Pinewood Infant School Governors

Our school has a very committed Governing Body who work actively to support and improve the school. We are actively involved in the life of the school, making regular visits in performing our duties. I would like to take the opportunity to explain the role of the school governors and who we are.

The school’s leadership is accountable to the Governing Body for the school’s overall performance, academic, pastoral and financial. The school is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Head of School with whom we work closely, together with the Executive Headteacher, to set and regularly review the overall aims and strategic direction of Pinewood.

Our key responsibilities are to:

• ensure the school fulfils its statutory duties – checking that school policies are current, and all legal requirements are fulfilled.
• help shape the vision and strategic direction of the school – we meet regularly with staff and parents to share our thoughts and ideas for the future.
• challenge and support the leadership team by being informed – through our observations from monitoring visits and by reports and presentations from staff and external agencies – and asking questions to ensure the school is fulfilling its aims.
• ensuring the curriculum is enriching, broad and balanced and sets the highest standards for pupil achievement.
• appoint senior leaders
• have oversight of the school’s finances and administration

Paramount, though, is our responsibility for the safeguarding and well-being of all in the school community.
