Welcome to Stoke Prior First School Governors' webpage, we hope it provides a clear insight into what our roles and responsibilities are and who we all are.

What is the responsibility of the Governing Body?

The governing body has responsibility for ensuring the good conduct and high standards of educational achievement in the school. A Governing Body should act in the interests of the children and also act as a critical friend to the Headteacher.

The three main roles of the Governing Bodies are;

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The different types of Governors:

Parent Governor - nominated by parents of the children who attend the school and are then elected by the Governors

Co-opted Governor - selected by the Governing Body as having relevant skills required

Staff Governor - Teaching Staff representative and Headteacher

Associate Member - appointed by the Governing Body due to having relevant expertise and experience - has no voting rights.
