Governing Body / School Standards Board
Our School Standards Board (SSB) has the following core responsibilities:
- Strategic oversight of the education provision of the school
- Strategic oversight of compliance of the school with Trust policies
- Supporting the Trust board to ensure good governance across the Trust
What We Do
The SSB seek to maintain and improve standards of education. They: provide a Strategic View, act as a Critical Friend and ensure Accountability. Laws and regulations impose duties on governors, such as to:
- Write and monitor the aims of the school
- Monitor and evaluate the policies to be applied by the Head Teacher and staff
- Ensure a Strategic Improvement Plan is drawn up
- Act as a link between the local community and the school
- Draw up an action plan following a school inspection
- Safeguard and promote the welfare of the children
Meetings
The SSB meet twice a term during the autumn, spring and summer.
The meetings cover both strategic items such as, pupil progress, the school development plan, staff development and information such as, the Head Teacher’s report, safeguarding and reviewing of policies. We feel this is essential so that all SSB Members can fulfil their role in monitoring the school. The SSB monitor the on-going strategic improvement plan through monitoring visits and committee meetings.
