They help to plan the future direction of the school, make decisions on the school’s budget and staffing, and, along with the Head Teacher, set the school’s aims and policies. Governors include parents, representatives chosen by the local education authority, teachers, a non-teaching staff representative elected by their colleagues, and co-opted members who bring particular skills to the governing body. The Head Teacher usually elects to become a member of the school’s governing body. The Governors of each committee have the right to vote on behalf of the full Governing Body during individual committee meetings, however, any decisions which are made will always be brought back to the full Governing Body Meeting for finalising.
The governing body meets twice each term. Minutes of the meetings are posted on the school notice board as well as on this website. The minutes will be kept on the school website for a year. If you require minutes from meetings not listed, here please contact the school office. If you wish to contact any of the governors, you may do so via the School Office.
Our governing board is striving to represent the community we serve - if you would like to find out more about what being a governor entails or you would like to speak to someone about your views on North Kidlington School, please contact the school office and we will do our best to assist you.
