Governors

Every school has a Governing Body to represent the public in the running of schools. School Governors bring perspectives from ordinary life and work with the staff and Local Authority to help secure the best possible education for the children in the school. They have important responsibilities like managing the school budget, overseeing the curriculum and appointing staff.

Chair – Mrs J Tompkins

The governing body must include:

• parents elected by parents of children at the school;
• members of staff elected by their colleagues at the school
• representatives of the local education authority (LEA); and usually
• the Headteacher (unless s/he chooses not to be a governor).

Braywood also representatives of the local church (Foundation governors) and co-opted Minor Authority governors – nominated by the town or parish council.
