Governors

Governing Body

As highlighted clearly in our mission strong leadership is central to achieving our vision;

 ‘Strong leadership focuses on creating outstanding provision that improves outcomes valuing personal development, wellbeing and wider curriculum opportunities as highly as academic progress. Every member of the Federation plays a significant part in its success retaining the distinctiveness of village schools whilst working effectively as a Federation.’

We have a full complement of active and skilled governors who support the school in its work to achieve its vision. As you will see from the information below governors are appointed to represent different bodies or organisations. Regardless of their designation all governors embrace the Federation principle of serving all the children across the schools. Led by our foundation governors all governors understand and embrace their role of supporting, upholding and developing the distinctiveness of the schools as Church of England Schools. Governors work collectively on this priority.

Governors are volunteers who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education.  They have a wide range of responsibilities, with priority being the strategic direction of the school and with fellow governors, being accountable for the performance of the school.

On 15th October 2015 Follifoot School federated with Spofforth Primary School, a decision approved by the Governing Bodies of both schools in July 2015.  The joint Governing body has a range of duties and a general responsibility for the conduct of both schools with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.  It’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

– setting and monitoring the strategic direction of the school
– managing the school’s finances
– making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based
– appointing new staff
– reviewing staff performance and pay
