Reignhead Primary School

Governing Board

The governing board provides strategic leadership and accountability in school. It has three key functions:

• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

Governors set the aims and objectives for the school and set the policies and targets for achieving those aims and objectives. They monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making and act as a source of challenge and support to the headteacher. 

Reignhead governors are committed to their role and to young people; confident in having courageous conversations; curious with an enquiring mind; able to challenge the status quo to improve things; collaborative to build strong relationships; critical to improve their own work and that of the board; and creative in problem solving and being innovative.

Our full governing board meet termly, yet much of the detail of the work is done within various committees and link governor roles which are also held termly.

If you are interested in becoming a school governor or would like to find out more information, please contact the school office.
