The Park Walk Board of Governors (Disbanded)

 

The school governors played a key role in the life and running of Park Walk Primary School. The board was an elected body drawn from the school’s various stakeholders including parents, staff and the local community. It had important legal powers and had strategic oversight of the school and its activities.

 

Other roles of the Board of Governors were to:

  •     promote high standards of achievement
  •     act as a ‘critical friend’ to the school
  •     provide robust monitoring and evaluation of school performance
  •     oversee all aspects of school governance
  •     ensure that the school's finances are managed properly
  •     offer support and challenge to the Headteacher and staff
  •     get involved in higher level staffing and building matters

 

The Board of Governors met once a term - Autumn and Spring and twice a term during the Summer. Additionally it had two sub-committees which met twice-termly during the Autumn and once-termly during the Spring and Summer with a focus on: Curriculum & Standards and Finance, Premises & Personnel. Governors were often delegated to perform specific roles or get involved in school projects with a strategic or organisational dimension, for example major building projects. They were always keen to hear from school stakeholders, and very much enjoyed meeting them at the various school events.
