Welcome to our Governors’ section. 

South Wingfield Primary School has a governing body composed of a group of volunteers drawn from the community, each bringing a range of skills, expertise and professional experience. Our Governors provide essential links between the school, parents/carers, the local community.

Governors work with staff and parents to provide the best possible framework for educating our children. They are involved in all aspects of school life and meet regularly with the school’s staff.

Governors fulfil their responsibilities by:

• Holding the school’s leaders to account for the educational and financial performance of the school. Governors create robust accountability for the schools leadership through rigorous analysis of performance data and financial information.
• Setting the school’s vision and the strategy for achieving this vision. The school’s vision centres on pupil progress and achievement. Working with school staff, the governors agree key priorities and key performance indicators against which progress towards achieving the vision can be measured.
• Ensure the school’s financial success and probity. The governing board must ensure that the budget that the school receives is managed effectively, and with regard to value for money.
