Our Governors
Kings Worthy Primary School Governors
Welcome to the governor pages in which you can find out more about who the governors are and how they work with the school.
Every school is required to have a governing body and school governors are drawn from different parts of the community. This helps to ensure that the governing body has sufficient diversity of views and experience but doesn't mean that governors of a particular category 'represent' that group on the governing body or report back to them. At any time, our governing body will have a mix of each of these types of governors:
- Co-opted governors
- Local Authority governor
- Parent governors
- Headteacher
- Staff governor
Strategic Statement
The Governing Body at Kings Worthy Primary School has a strategic function, while the headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school:
- We establish the strategic direction of the school by setting the school's values and objectives. We agree the school strategy including its priorities and targets, and we ensure that statutory duties are met. We support and challenge the headteacher.
- We ensure accountability to the children, their parents and our community by appointing the headteacher, and by monitoring the educational performance of the school and progress towards agreed targets.
- We ensure financial probity, by setting the budget and monitoring spending, ensuring that value for money is obtained and ensuring risks are managed.
- We meet regularly: all governors attend Full Governing Body meetings once per half term.
Governors’ Ethos
The Board of Governors at Kings Worthy Primary School abides by the school’s ethos, to be the best that we can be. Specifically, we:
- Understand the school’s strengths and weaknesses, and work with the Senior Leadership Team to evaluate performance.
- Strive for the best possible outcomes for the children and the school.
- Uphold the Seven Principles of Public Life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, leadership.
