Governing Body Committee Structure & Attendance | Watermoor Church of England Primary School

The full governing body meet at the start of the academic year to discuss the strategic direction for that year, through the school development plan, and to appoint the chair and vice chair for the year. There are three subsequent full governing body meetings in the academic year. However, where necessary, an Extraordinary meeting can be called if there is an important item for discussion.

There are also committees that meet every 'large'term. They are :

Learning, Teaching & Standards - responsible for holding the school to account for educational performance.

Chair : Alison Pine

Committee Members: Sarah Fox, Rebecca Nobbs, Emma Palmer-Davies, Derek Wilson

Finance, Premises & Staffing - responsible for overseeing the financial performance of the school, financial probity and agreeing the budget.

Chair : Axelle Volgo

Committee Members : Sarah Fox, Alison Pine, Karan Townsend,

Rebecca Nobbs

Ethos - responsible for supporting, advising and challenging the Headteacher and FGB on matters relating to the distinctiveness and effectiveness of Watermoor as a Church of England Primary School.

Chair : Jo Wood

Committee Members : Karan Townsend, Jo Wood, Ally Castle, Rachel Roberts

The governing body does not have a set grievance or exclusion committee, but will form a committee as required, from those who have no knowledge of the grievance / exclusion circumstances. This ensures a lack of 'contamination' and makes the process fairer.
