Our Governors
Hayes Park School has Staff, Parent, Co-Opted and Partnership Governors.
The Governing Body at Hayes Park School works with the Head Teacher and members of the Senior Leadership Team to fulfill statutory duties and drive school improvement. The Governing Body is made up of a diverse group of parents, staff and co-opted representatives who have professional experience in the fields of finance, construction, health, business management and education.
School governors have a wide range of responsibilities; we support the Head Teacher in leading the school and act as a 'critical friend'. We have a strategic role in setting goals and agreeing targets, managing budgets and financial arrangements, adopting policies and in monitoring effectiveness. The Governing Body also evaluates the school's performance through results and data, outside agency reports and the School Development Plan.
The Governing Body meets as a whole group each term, where we are updated with reports and ask questions to help monitor progress towards achieving agreed objectives. Our meetings are held both during school hours and evenings. There are also two smaller committees who meet regularly. One deals with finance, premises, health & safety and administration; the other focuses on academic matters and pastoral care. These committee groups focus on their specific aspects of the school and report back to the Full Governing Body.
We have a Safeguarding Governor who monitors safeguarding, child protection procedures and the Single Central Record.
Governors visit the school regularly and talk to staff and pupils. Governors also attend school events and are always willing to talk to parents and carers.
If you are interested in becoming a governor and supporting our school, or wish to raise any other issue, then please contact Mrs R Weymouth, Clerk to the Governors, via the school office email.
