We expect our children to achieve the highest possible standards according to their ability, to develop their talents to the full, and to become socially conscious, confident, tolerant and hard-working members of society in the future. The Governors of Longnor CE Primary School are responsible for the strategic leadership of the school and for ensuring the school is run to promote the highest standards of education to ensure these achievements.
The responsibilities of the Governing Body are defined in law and include:
- planning the future direction of the school
- promoting high standards of educational achievement, including monitoring progression and achievement
- ensuring the quality of the curriculum
- managing the school budget including prioritising spending and approving staffing levels
- appointment of the Headteacher and supporting the appointment of other staff
- providing a parental voice
- acting as a critical friend, providing both support and challenge.
We have a couple of vacancies that we are looking to fill on the governing board. Please contact Lisa Edgerton or Tom Phoenix for more information if you are interested.
