Parkside Community Primary School

TO DETERMINE THE AIMS AND VALUES OF THE SCHOOL:
These can be found in the front of the Governors Annual report to parents
TO MONITOR AND KEEP UNDER REVIEW THE BROAD POLICIES, PLANS AND PROCEDURES WITHIN WHICH THE SCHOOL OPERATES: The strategic direction of the school is set by the School Improvement Plan. Various committees with specific responsibilities meet at least termly to review the activities in their areas of interest
TO ENSURE LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY: The make up of the Governing Body includes representatives of parents, the Local Authority, the local community, the staff and local people co-opted for their specialist skills
INSISTING THAT THE BEST INTERESTS OF ALL PUPILS ARE PARAMOUNT IN DECISION-MAKING: By making regular visits and observing the work of the school the governors gain an understanding of the pupils needs that can then be included in the school plans.

The Governors of Parkside School are appointed to represent different groups in the community. Parents, of course, are one very important group.

Governors will be pleased to hear from you, but please remember that they are not able to deal with day to day concerns about your child’s education or anything else that happens in school. Your first port of call should always be the Class Teacher and, if necessary, the Headteacher.

If, having explored these options, you still have a concern, please do make contact with one of our elected Parent Governors – Ben Edwards, Paula Baker, and Jo Parsons. Other governors will be happy to talk with you also.

If you want to talk to a governor, a message can always be left for them at the School Office.

The Current Governors are:
