Governors

Our Governing board 

The Role of the Governing Board.
The purpose of the Governing Board is to provide confident and strong strategic leadership
working in close partnership with the leaders of the school, leading to robust accountability,
oversight and assurance for educational and financial performance.


This means:
• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
• Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well-spent

As a Governing Board we work cooperatively together to ensure we meet the 3 core strategic
functions above.

 Mrs B Ellison Clerk to Governors

 Reverend Joanna Fielding  Ex-officio / Foundation Governor

 Mrs S Laughlin Ex-officio and Head of School

 Miss S Smith  Chair of governors / Parent Governor

 Mrs J Foster Vice chair / Local authority Governor

In order to carry out our functions effectively we meet 6 times per year as a full governing board. We also have delegated responsibilities which enables us to undertake our strategic functions on behalf of the board. It is a privilege to be a governor at Cleeve Prior CE Primary school where every child is valued and nurtured to grow and flourish.


Through our strategic oversight of the work of the school we support and strengthen the school to provide high quality education for all pupils.
