The Governing Body has an extremely important part to play in life of any school. Our Voluntary Governing body includes representatives from the Parish of St John's, Deepcar, in the Diocese of Sheffield, the Local Authority, parents of pupils and teaching staff at the school.
Governors are appointed to help:-
- Decide and monitor what is taught
Set standards of behaviour - Interview and select staff
- Decide and monitor how the school budget is set and spent
- Be involved in and monitor other areas such as Health and Safety, Premises, School Inspection and Planning, Child Protection, Special Needs and reporting to parents.
- Oversee the performance management of all staff.
Meetings of the Full Governing Body take place at least once every term but can be called as and when necessary. If you feel that you need to contact one of our Governors, please do so via our school office.
