Governors

Ashfield Valley Primary School Governing Board

The Governing Board is made up of Staff, Parents, a Governor nominated by the Local Authority, and Co-opted Governors who are appointed for their specific skill sets and experience.

The Governing Board has three main functions:

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

Please note that Governors do not get involved in the day-to-day running of the school. The Class Teacher should always be the first point of contact if you wish to discuss an issue relating to your child, or a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Alternatively, information about the complaints procedures for the school can be found in the School Policies section.
