Governors

Governing Body

The School Governors have a central role to play in the leadership of the school, they are similar to a board of directors. They have legal powers and responsibilities in relation to the school and can only act together. They meet once every half term to help make decisions about how the school is run. They represent all sections of society, united by the wish to provide the best education for the children at Cookley Sebright Primary School with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement at our school.

Our Governing Body has a strong focus on three core strategic functions:

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
2. Holding the Headteacher of the school to account for the educational performance and well-being of the school and its pupils.
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school, making sure its money is well spent.

The Full Governing Body meets termly, alongside additional Finance and School Improvement Committee meetings.

The Chair and Vice Chair are elected by all the governors every two years. All governors apart from the Headteacher and the nominee of the Rector of the Kidderminster Ismere Team Ministry hold office normally for a period of four years.

All parents at the school are eligible to vote and elect Parent Governors. You will be notified when any Parent elections are due. If you are interested in being involved in this capacity please ask for more information or speak to one of the governors who will be happy to tell you about their work.
