The Governing Body of Lady Bankes Primary School
I am delighted to welcome you to the Governors’ section of the Lady Bankes Primary School website.
As governors, we are responsible for:
Simply put, we want to ensure that all our children achieve the best they can and that money is well spent in making this happen.
Our vision for the school is that it is an ‘outstanding place to learn’ and staff and governors are all extremely committed and passionate in their drive to make this happen. We are also united in our belief that a good relationship between school and home is vital, enhancing a child’s confidence and assisting in their development. We rely on the support and involvement of all our parents and carers and endeavour to forge relationships that do not end at the school gate.
Our governing body consists of 14 members and is made up of Parent Governors, Local Authority Governors, Staff Governors, Co-opted Governors. We also currently have several Associate Governors. This ensures that we have sufficient diversity of views and experience to be both a supportive and questioning friend.
The Full Governing Body meets at least once each term but most of our work is done in the following committees.
Governors with named responsibilities report to the appropriate committee. In turn, the committees then report to the full governing body, which has overall responsibility for the governance of the school.
Governors attend most school events and are always happy to chat to parents. Alternatively, if you have questions or feedback, then you can contact me through either school office. Please do note though, that if you have any specific issues regarding individual pupils or members of staff, these should be raised with the Head Teacher in the first instance.
