Mayfield Governors
The Governors of our school are a dedicated, committed and enthusiastic group of people that seek to ensure that we are providing the best standards of care, teaching and learning opportunities for all children at Mayfield.
The Governors of Mayfield have a strong skill-set and work proactively and co-operatively with the Headteacher and staff to improve the outcomes for all children at the school. A strategic approach is taken for all new appointments to ensure that a balance of key skills, within the Governing Body, is maintained.
The Role of the Governor
Governors have a strategic overview of the whole school that encompasses finance, the curriculum, building and site, and health and safety.
Governors perform a crucial role in ensuring that the school is financially buoyant, that public money is being spent to advantage all children and that the school adheres to local and national requirements.
In terms of their curriculum role, Governors review school data and ask questions about outcomes and value for money. They ensure that the school provides a broad and balanced curriculum and that there are enrichment opportunities for children. They work with senior leaders to monitor standards across the curriculum and conduct visits with subject leaders.
Governors ensure that health and safety standards are fully met through the checking of reports, visits to the site and discussion with staff. Governors have an overview of safeguarding and conduct an annual audit as well as spot checks to ensure procedures are robust.
