Governance at Hall Green Infant School

Our school governors strive to make a positive contribution to the children's education, sharing the beliefs that shape our school. Our committed governing body has a key role in ensuring the school’s effectiveness. The detailed day to day running of the school is the responsibility of the Head Teacher.  

What do governors do? 

Governors serve a four-year term and have three core strategic responsibilities: 

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; 
• Holding the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; 
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent. 
• Our governors contribute to our school development plan and work closely with school staff to monitor, challenge and celebrate standards.  

Members of our governing body are committed to visiting school regularly and to offering independent thinking when acting as a critical friend, to challenge and support the leadership team and hard-working staff.  

Structure of the Governing Body 

Governors hold a full Governing Body Meeting at least once a term.  As well as this, the finance and staffing committees also meet once a term.
