The Governing Body :

The Governing Body have a general responsibility for seeing that the school is run effectively, acting within the framework set by legislation and that the policies of the Local Education Authority (LEA) and the Welsh Government are adhered to.

The Headteacher and Governing Body work in a close and balanced partnership to provide the best possible education for the pupils at Plascrug School. Governors work with the Headteacher to think strategically about how to raise standards of achievement for all pupils at the school, for setting the budget and for overseeing the curriculum. They also have powers with respect to the appointment and dismissal of staff and the exclusion and re-instatement of pupils.

The full Governing Body meets at least once each term. There are also four different sub-committees that also meet termly; Finance & Staffing; Curriculum & Policy; Health & Safety / Building & Premises. The meetings are generally held in the evenings.

What is a Governor?

A governor is someone who:-

•  is a volunteer;
•  cares about teaching, learning and children;
•  represents people in the local community and the staff of the school;
•  is part of a team which accepts responsibility for everything a school does;
•  has time to commit to termly meetings and other occasions when needed;
•  is willing to learn;
•  is able to act as a friend who supports the school but is still able to cast a critical eye upon how the school works and the standard it achieves;
•  acts as a link between parents, the local community and the school.

All areas of the school and the local community are represented on the Governing Body and there are different types of Governors:

PARENT GOVERNORS
