Hayfield Lane Governing Body

Governors of Hayfield Lane Primary

Governors

Hayfield Lane is supported by its board of Governors which under the terms of the 1998 Education Act is responsible for the curriculum and welfare of pupils, the school’s budget, staff appointments and the care of the buildings.

Structure of our Governing Body

There is one full Governing Body meeting each term at which issues are discussed and decisions made. The Governing Body is then split into sub-committees: a Strategic Development Committee chaired by Kath Lister; a Pupils and Personnel Committee chaired by Kirstie Fenwick; and a Finance Committee chaired by Claire Argo. Each committee meets at least once a term. It has been decided that all Governors will attend all committee meetings to prepare for succession planning. Where necessary, the Governors are split into two smaller groups where it may be necessary for the decisions made to progress to an appeals panel.

The Governing Body of Hayfield Lane consists of:

• Headteacher

• Two parent Governors (appointed by parents)

• One Local Authority Governor (appointed by the Local Authority)

• One staff Governor (appointed by the school staff)

• Four co-opted Governors (appointed by the Full Governing Body)
