Governors
The Role of School Governors
The governors of Moira Primary School are a strategic part of the leadership of the school with three core functions:
-
1. To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
-
2. To hold the senior leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils; and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
-
3. To oversee the financial performance of the school and to make sure that its money is well spent.
The governing board ensures that there is:
-
- a rigorous culture of safeguarding
-
- compliance with legislative requirements, for example, those of the Equality Act, 2010 and in relation to the ‘Prevent’ duty
The other duties of the governing board are:
-
- to hear and take into account the views of all stakeholders
-
- to support the development of policy on the school’s curriculum and collective worship
-
- to set standards for the behaviour of all pupils
-
- to make sure the school buildings are welcoming and safe
-
- to review the school’s policies and procedures
-
- to commit to self-review, development and improvement.
It is a very rewarding role and a good way to give back to our community. If you are interested in joining the governing board, please do contact the office.
