Governors

Making a positive contribution to our children’s education

The role of any governing body is fundamental to the effectiveness of the leadership and management of a school. As Governors at Eagle School, we provide strategic leadership and make decisions about the school resources and school structure. We are here to drive continual school improvement and ensure that Eagle School is embedded within the community for the success of all our futures.

Our key functions are to:

set the aims and objectives for the school
set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives
monitor and evaluate school progress towards achievement of its aims and objectives
be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher as a critical friend

The Governing Body has two sub committees to ensure that it meets its statutory duties with regard to the finance and curriculum of the school. Both Committees report to the Full Governing Board.

1. Resources Committee

The Committee facilitates and enables support to ensure the effective operation and running of Eagle School from a finance, staffing and premises perspective.

2. Standards and Curriculum Committee

The Committee monitors and evaluates the standards and achievements of Eagle School and the quality of education the school provides.

As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We collect diversity information from our governors, however we are unable to publish this as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.

The data helps us to:

recruit to address gaps in experience and diversity
prioritise awareness-raising in identified areas
seek wider advice if applicable on any relevant opportunities, challenges and risks
