Welcome to our Governors' section. 

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

We have also provided a Register of Governor Interests and an Annual Statement of Issues for your information.

At full governing meetings we set aims and objectives for the school. We view and discuss the headteachers report, updates, attendance and discuss pupil achievement. We monitor our school development plan and safe guarding. We set a focus for monitoring visits and receive feed back once they have been completed. We challenge and support the headteacher in all that she does. We set targets that enable us to achieve our aims and objectives. 

The targets for this year were approved in the School Development Plan, in the meeting of the full governing body on the 20th November 2019. Priorities for this year have been identified as:

Priority 1: 80% of pupils in Year 1 to achieve 32+ points in the Year 1 Phonics Assessment.

Priority 2: To develop leadership at all levels across the school.

Priority 3: All teaching, learning and progress to be at least good.

Priority 4: To develop access to mental health and wellbeing support for pupils, parents and staff.

Priority 5: To ensure that the curriculum is appropriately broad, balanced and progressive

​​​​​​​School Development Plan 2020-2021

For this school year the Governing Body ratified a recovery plan, to ensure that the school was back on track after lockdown, and all of the children were successful in their learning.

The priorities for this school year are:

* For the school to re-open fully and safely in September, and this safety to be maintained throughout the year.

* For a recovery curriculum to be in place, with a focus upon mathematics and English - accelerating progress for all pupils.

* For staff support and monitoring to be in place, safely and without breaching bubbles.

* Attendance to be above the national average - all pupils who are not shielding or isolating to attend school.

The Kent Governor Adviser for this area is:
