Meet the Governors

Welcome to the Governors' section. In this section you will find details of:

• the roles of the governors as stated by the Department for Education
• some links to useful websites to give more details of the generic role of being a governor
• how to contact the governors
• who the governors are (names and photographs)
• the code of conduct that the governors follow
• governor roles specific to Gilded Hollins and the attendance record of governors at meetings of the full governing body and subcommittee meetings

You will also find photographs of governor award assemblies.

Finally, at the end of this governor section, are copies of the Governor Newsletter. This was produced to share some of the work of the governors with parents, to give an insight into what the governors do. This has now been replaced by messages from the governors on the school newsletter, as these are more regular snapshots, but the Governor Newsletters are saved here as they contain more detail of some of the governors which you may find interesting.

The Governing body is responsible for:

• ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• holding the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
• overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

More information on the role of the Governors can be found on the DfE website.

The Governor's Handbook can be found here

Mrs Haworth, Mr Jones, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Thompson, Mrs Boardman and Mrs Stopforth handed out prestigious Governor Award certificates at a special assembly on Tuesday 10th July. The awards are presented to children who the Governors consider have gone over and above in representing the caring, sharing, respectful ethos of Gilded Hollins. Very well done to all our recipients. Be extremely proud!
