Meet our Governors

Governors

Camps Hill Primary School is part of The Claxton Trust. The Board of Trustees delegates the general responsibility for the effective management of the school to the Local Governing Body, in line with the Scheme of Delegation and Trust Improvement Strategy. The Local Governing Body acts within the framework set by national legislation and the policies of the The Claxton Trust.

Governors help to decide school policy and share responsibility for the management of the school. They advise and support the headteacher and staff, working with the school to meet the needs of the children whilst ensuring that the school provides good value for money. They help the headteacher in the selection of staff and act as a link between the school and the community.

If you are interested in being a governor, please contact the school office to find out if we have any vacancies.

If you would like to contact a governor, this can be done through the school office. Letters marked for the attention of a governor will be passed on in confidence.

Link Governors

Each non-teaching governor is attached to a subject. The governor writes to the subject leader they are linked with and gets invited in by the classes to celebrate achievements/join in on WOW events/see displays of work etc. This way, strong links are made between the governors, the school and the children.

Governors Code of Conduct

Governors are responsible for governing the school. Most of their work takes place out of school hours, but governors often visit the school and are linked with particular classes. Each governor is also linked to a particular subject.

As part of the Governor's role to support school improvement all Governors are linked to a school improvement priority.

Governor Subject

Please contact the Chair of Governors if you require any advice or you wish to discuss any issues or concerns you may have. Contact with all governors is via the School Office.
