At Harrington Nursery School we have a team of governors that work as volunteers to support the school. Their role is to support and challenge the Headteacher, to help set the vision and strategic direction of the school and to ensure that our school is the very best it could be. The Board have a wide range of responsibilities.
These include tasks such as; We have three Board meetings each year where all Governors attend. A range of sub-committee meetings also take place at least once per term. During these meetings we look at a wide range of information to find out how well the school is performing.
A detailed Headteachers report is discussed at these meetings but we also look at data reports so that we can make our own decisions about how well things are going. Terms of Reference and Scheme of Delegation for the Governing Board can be available upon request. To support the work that goes on, Board Members also try to visit school as often as possible.
We particularly enjoy talking to the children about their school. If you are interested in becoming a Board Member, please contact the school.
