Governing Body
St. Nicholas CE Primary School, Governing Body
The Governors have recently changed in their makeup and responsibilities since joining DSAT. Many of the roles they once held have now been transferred to DSAT. These include:
- School policies
- Interviewing/selection of senior staff
- School budgets
- Strategic school planning
- Health and Safety
- Premises
Governors continue to be responsible for:
- Monitoring the school effectiveness
- Ensuring the school visions and values are upheld
- Promoting the interests of the school, staff and children
As a Church School our Governing Body is made up of the following groups:
- Headteacher and Staff Governors
- Parent Governors - nominated and elected by parents, appointed by Governing Body
- Foundation Governors - appointed by Salisbury Diocese and of practising Faith
- Trust Appointed Governors - appointed by the Governing Body for their particular expertise
Governors are expected to attend all ASEC- Academy, Standards and Ethos Committee meetings which take place 6 times a year.
Our Chair of Governors is Mrs Fay Hodder and contact can be made via the main school, either by telephone, email or post.
