The Governing Body of Green Park plays a crucial role in the life and work of our school. It is made up of 7 volunteers from the local and wider community, plus the Headteacher and a member of staff. Their diversity of expertise and views contributes to positive and effective governance.
The school governing body holds 6 full governing body meetings each year. It is supported by a Finance sub-committee. Pay Review committee and Headteacher Performance Review committee meet once a year to scrutinise staff performance and pay progression.
Some governors are assigned a link role for a specific area within the school and these include the two statutory roles of safeguarding and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) aswell as EYFS and Health and Safety. There is a designated Safeguarding and Attendance Governor who meets with the Headteacher at least termly. Governors are also linked to each of our curriculum teams: Comms (English and PSHE), STEM (Maths, Computing, DT), Humanities (RE, History, Geography) and Sport and Culture (Art, PE, Music and Spanish).
The Governor role is strategic rather than operational. This means Governors do not get involved in the day to day running of the school. Instead, they support and challenge the school's leadership team to drive school improvement.
Governors have three core duties:
- Plan the strategic direction of the school
- Oversee financial performance of the school and ensure the money is well-spent
- Hold the school leadership team to account
