Governance

Role of the Governors 

Being a school Governor is a very rewarding job. It gives you the opportunity to have a say in the development of the school. As a Governor you will also be involved and aware of the latest developments in the way that children are being educated. 

There is a team of Governors at Summerville, including a teacher Governor, parent Governors and Local Authority (LA) Governors. The term of office is 4 years and an election process is adopted to ensure all candidates are given a fair chance. We have a SEND and a Safeguarding Link Governor who work closely with the school as well as Governors who are linked to key areas of our School Development Plan in order to challenge and support us.

The Governing Body meets in full 6 times per academic year.

What do governors do? 
  • Promote high standards
  • Act as a critical friend
  • Set targets for pupil achievement Appoint the head and deputy
  • Assist with managing the school's budget Discuss current curriculum issues
  • Have involvement in devising action plans
