St. Thomas School Governing Body
The School Governors at St Thomas’ are the strategic leaders of the school and have a vital role to play in ensuring that every child gets the best possible education.
Governors have the following core functions:
- ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and of its staff;
- overseeing the financial performance of the school and ensuring value for money.
The Governing Board work together with the Leadership team of the school to ensure that these core functions are carried out for the benefit of all the stakeholders at St Thomas’ C of E Primary school.
The Governors work together at Full Governing Board meetings and in sub-committee meetings. They also visit school to monitor decisions that have been described and taken at governing board meetings and of course to meet the pupils and staff in school and hear about their experiences of life in school.
The sub-committees at St Thomas’ have the following remits
Monitoring Committee
- monitoring and evaluating progress made on the key issues identified within the School Action Plan
- seek feedback from the leadership team on the impact of strategies to improve progress and raise attainment
- seek feedback from the Headteacher on key issues which are a barrier to progress
- analyse the self-evaluation of the effectiveness of the governing board
- discuss and recommend for approval key changes to ensure successful implementation and progress of the School Action Plan
Resources Committee
- monitor the school's annual budget, for monitoring forward financial planning,
- monitor the site and buildings, including health and safety matters
- ensure that the school's money is spent wisely and effectively, in the best interests of our children
