Governors
Welcome to the governors’ page of Masham Church of England Primary School. This page will tell you about our governors and their role in school.
Membership
The membership of our Governing Body is comprised of parents, school staff, and individuals connected to the local church and community.
The role of the Governing Body
The school governors are the strategic leaders of our school, and they have a key role in ensuring that each child thrives and receives the best possible education. Their core functions are:
- To set the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- To hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school, and the performance management of staff.
- To appoint the staff, agree the budget and make sure the school’s money is well spent.
Our governors bring a wide breadth of experience and expertise to our school. They know the school: its strengths and challenges, the data about progress and attainment, the staff and pupils, the parents and the community. They oversee the School Development Plan that identifies our priorities for the year, and drives change to improve outcomes for our pupils.
