A statement from our Governors:

The governing body does not run the school on a day to day basis. This is the job of the Headteacher and other senior staff. The governors have the job of supporting and challenging the Headteacher and the staff to make Little Heath the best school it can be. It also has a responsibility for 'ensuring a safe culture and environment in which all children can learn'.
The governing body comprises of:
The Headteacher

Welcome to our Governors’ section.

Governors:
Governors play an important role in the life of the school - this is mainly strategic; setting policy, monitoring progress, supporting staff and challenging where necessary. Governors also monitor safeguarding and child protection. This is sometimes deemed as being a 'critical friend' to the Headteacher. It is important to understand that it is the role of the Headteacher and her staff to run the school on a day to day basis. Governors work closely with Mrs Stanley to ensure the success of the school. The full governing body meets twice each term. they meet as a full governing body. One meeting per term has a resource focussed agenda and the second meeting per term has a performance and standards focus to ensure the efficient and successful running of the school.
Governors are unpaid volunteers who come from a range of backgrounds. They contribute their knowledge, skills and experience for the benefit of the school. If you have any questions about the governing body or wish to discuss and school related issues please contact us through the school and we will gladly contact you in response.
The aims of the governing body are:
- To ensure the education, development and wider well being of the children, their families and the staff at Little Heath Primary School.
- To promote the education, development and wider well being of all the children in the area.
- To support the needs of the wider local community.
