Bedwell Crescent, Stevenage, Herts, SG11NJ

Welcome

The Local Governing Body works in partnership with the Headteacher to ensure that the best education is being provided for every child. While the Headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school, Governors have collective responsibility for:

1. ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
2. holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
3. overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

Ofsted said in November 2023...
Leaders, including those responsible for governance, have carefully managed the introduction of new approaches to the curriculum. This has supported staff to manage their own workload and wellbeing. Staff are very proud to work at the school. They appreciate the way leaders support them.

The Governing Body is composed of governors drawn to reflect the different constituents of the school:

• Eight foundation governors, appointed by the Diocese of Westminster;

• Three parent governors, elected by other parents at the school;

• One staff governor, elected by colleagues;

• The Headteacher;

• Five Co-opted members;

• Two Associate members.
