The Local Governing Body for Breckon Hill is a very hard working and committed group of people who give their time voluntarily to oversee the management of the school and to ensure that an excellent quality of education is provided for our children. Governor term of office is four years. The governors meet regularly throughout the year.
All boards, no matter what type of schools or how many schools they govern, have core functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the performance management of staff.
Governance Structure
The Local Governing Body meets as a whole once a term to consider the work of the school which is discussed through focused meetings and events with governors throughout the year, to fulfil statutory duties related to policies and procedures and to work together in forward planning for the school. The governors visit school often.
