Governors
Guillemont School is very much a part of the local community. The Governors all share a common interest in what is our school too. We recognise that schools are essential contributors to any successful neighbourhood.
The Governors are responsible for the general management of the school, acting within a policy framework set by the DCSF and the Local Education Authority. It is the responsibility of the Headteacher to carry out the day-to-day leadership and management of the school. At Guillemont the Headteacher and Governors work in partnership and liaise closely on all matters affecting the school.
The school Improvement Plan, agreed between the Governing Body and staff, identifies key projects, for improvement. This is available on request in school, for parents’ information.
The Governing Body meets formally twice a term with the Headteacher for a general review of the school. Governors also meet at other times to deal with specific issues, either as a whole or in working groups where appropriate. All fundamental decisions would only be taken at a full meeting of the Governors and Headteacher.
The make up is 5 Parents, 3 Local Authority, 3 Staff and 3 Community. All Governors work for the school in a voluntary capacity. The Headteacher currently elects not to be a Governor but attends all of the meetings. As you can see by the list below, Governors at Guillemont are either, elected, appointed or co-opted. The three community members enable the Board of Governors to reflect fully the community, which it serves. A chairman and vice-chairman are elected each year to conduct the meetings and to be available for contact by the Headteacher. A clerk to the Governors is also appointed to take the minutes of meetings, to deal with correspondence and advise on legal matters.
