Welcome to the Board of Governors for Ashlands CofE Primary School

 

Local Governing Committee

Welcome to the Ashlands Church of England Primary School Local Governing Committee.

Our Governors are a dedicated team of volunteers who give their time, expertise and commitment to support the continued success of our school. Working in partnership with school leaders, staff, parents and the wider community, they play an essential role in helping Ashlands provide the very best education and opportunities for all children.

The Committee is chaired by David Harvey and vice-chaired by Dominic Lawrence.

Guided by our vision of Love of Learning, Love of Life and Love of One Another, governors help ensure that every decision is made with the best interests of our children at heart.

The Role of the Local Governing Committee

The Local Governing Committee works closely with school leaders to:

  • Support and challenge school leaders to achieve the best outcomes for all pupils.
  • Help shape the strategic direction and future development of the school.
  • Monitor the quality of education, wellbeing and safeguarding provision.
  • Ensure that funding and resources are used effectively and responsibly.
  • Help maintain the distinctive Christian vision and values of the school.
  • Represent the interests of our pupils, families and local community.

Governors regularly visit the school, attend meetings, review information and speak with staff and pupils to develop a thorough understanding of school life. Their role is both supportive and challenging, helping to ensure that Ashlands continues to flourish.

We are incredibly grateful for the time, care and commitment that our governors give on a voluntary basis. Their dedication plays a vital role in supporting our children, staff and wider school community.
