Governors

The Governing Board operates as a flat structure (we do not have sub-committees) and forms an important link between the school and the community and meets twice per term.

Governing Board Chair:           Heather Ingham

Governing Board Vice-Chair:   Kevin Hubbard

 

In accordance with the Government’s requirement for all governing boards, the four core strategic functions of Millfields Primary School and Nursery’s Governing Board are:

1.            Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

2.            Hold the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the

               school and its pupils; 

3.            Oversee the financial performance of the school, ensuring value for money;

4.            Promote the highest possible standards for Safeguarding.

 

We have the following committees to consider different aspects of the school in detail:

·        Pay review

·        Performance Management Committee 

and we also have committees that meet if required to consider complaints, pupil discipline and staffing matters.
