The Governing Committee – Local School Board LSB
The Governing Committee plays a key part in the life of Galley Hill Primary School and together with the Senior Leadership Team, we are responsible for ensuring that each and every pupil thrives, develops a love for learning and is prepared to take their next steps in life.
As a Governing Committee, we look to support our staff, our pupils, our parents and the community to ensure that Galley Hill Primary School continues to grow, and be recognised as a centre of excellence throughout the region. This is achieved by setting the strategic direction, setting annual objectives together with the Senior Leadership Team, monitoring performance and ensuring that the school is operating within agreed policies.
Our key focus is to ensure that all our pupils achieve their full potential through outstanding teaching and learning, together with embedding our core values of ambition, inclusion and integrity.
We are proud of our Head Teacher, the Senior Leadership Team and all our staff and it is our responsibility to support and challenge them throughout their impact with our pupils.
The Role of Chair
As Chair, the role is expected to work closely with the headteacher to promote and maintain high educational standards whilst ensuring that we remain on our strategic journey as agreed with the Galileo Trust, the school Governing committee and the staff across the school
The Chair acts as a sounding board for the headteacher on strategic issues and has a role within the committee structure to challenge unacceptable behaviour and ask the difficult questions, if required.
It is an honour to be the Chair of the Governing Committee of Galley Hill Primary School as we watch our pupils thrive, achieving their aspirations and become valued members of the community.
