Stanford Junior School

Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards.

The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. Time and time again, Ofsted has noted that effective leadership contributes to making a school, including a governing body, good.

Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings

The full governing body meets once or twice a term.  At these meetings, the governing body carries out its three core functions, as identified by the Department for Education in the Governors Handbook.

The governing body has established a Finance & Buildings Committee to provide guidance and assistance to the Head teacher and governing body on all financial issues and exercise delegated responsibility for the condition, repair, extension and alternation of the premises. Full terms of reference for this committee are contained within the Governing Body Standing Orders which can be provided by the school on request.
