Beaver Road School Vision

Governors have the following main responsibilities:

To determine the strategic future of the school;
To decide how the school budget should be spent;
To appoint senior staff;
To decide policy on such things as equal opportunities, discipline, sex education, special needs provision, salaries;
To oversee the curriculum provision.

The Governors hold full meetings at least three times a year. Minutes are posted on the Governor’s Notice Board.

The Governors also have a number of sub-committees and working groups that meet regularly throughout the year to look in detail at the curriculum, buildings, finance, health and safety, security etc. The minutes of these meetings are approved by the full Governing Body.

Thinking of being a Governor?

All Governors are volunteers and do not receive any payment for their work. They do play a vital role in the work of the school.

Being a Governor is demanding and challenging but very rewarding:

Governors and parents get to work on the school gardens
