Our Governing Body is made up of a group of 12 people who have chosen to give their time and commitment in support of this school and to fulfill the legally required obligations.

Further detailed Governor information is available on a separate document at the foot of this page.

The Chair of Governors co-ordinates the work of the Governing Body and liaises regularly with the Headteacher.

The Full Governing Body meets each term to monitor the school development plan, to make sure legally required policies are in place and to endorse any important decisions that the Headteacher wishes to make.

Apart from full Governing Body and Committee Meetings, Governors undertake training in their own time to ensure that they can fulfil these roles efficiently.

In addition, all Governors are involved in a programme of regular and targeted monitoring visits for teaching and learning. They also support the School in many other ways:

• accompanying educational visits
• attending whole School events and special occasions
• supporting individual or groups of children with learning during the school day
• sharing their skills and professional expertise to help the School and its students.

Our aim as a Governing Body is to ensure that the highest standards of educational provision are maintained at West Chiltington Community School.
