Governors
St. Nicholas CE Primary School, Governing Body
Since joining the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust (DSAT) the Governors have recently changed in their makeup and responsibilities. Many of the roles they once held have now been transferred to DSAT. These include:
- School policies
- School Budgets
- Interviewing/selection of senior staff
- Strategic school planning
- Health and Safety
- Premises
Governors continue to be responsible for:
- Monitoring the school effectiveness
- Ensuring the school visions and values are upheld
- Promoting the interests of the school, staff and children
As a Church School our Governing Body is made up of the following groups:
- Headteacher and Staff Governors
- Parent Governors - nominated and elected by parents, appointed by Governing Body
- Foundation Governors - appointed by Salisbury Diocese and of practising Faith
- Trust Appointed Governors - appointed by the Governing Body for their particular expertise
Governors are expected to attend all ASEC- Academy, Standards and Ethos Committee meetings which take place 6 times a year.
A copy of governors’ meeting minutes can be made available by request from the clerk. Please note charges may apply, more information can be found in the DSAT Publication Scheme available via: https://www.dsat.org.uk/others/ or https://www.dsat.org.uk/page/?title=Governance&pid=11 for our DSAT Governance page.
