Governors

The Governing Body of Wigton Nursery and Infant School ensures high standards of achievement and care for all of our children and members of the school community by:

  • setting the school's vision, ethos and strategic direction.

  • holding the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.

  • overseeing the financial performance of the school and ensuring its money is well spent.

The Governing Body sits as a full committee and as a number of smaller committees.

The Governors, with the Head Teacher and staff, have set the school's vision of 'Building Firm Foundations in Learning, Laughter and Love' and ensure that decisions and plans are made in line the school's caring and inclusive ethos.

 

Parent Governors: Parent Governors are elected by other parents of pupils registered at the school. They should be parents of pupils currently at the school but they may serve out their term of office if their child leaves.

 

Local Authority Governors: Authority Governors are appointed by the LA which maintains the school, in our case Cumbria.


Staff Governors: The Head Teacher of a school automatically becomes a Governor at the time of appointment. Other staff members are elected by and from the whole teaching and non-teaching staff. Staff Governors may not continue to be Governors if they cease to be employed by us.


Co-opted Governor: Governors may be appointed to the Governing Body because of a particular skill set or experience that would be of interest to the effective running of the whole Governing Body. These Governors may be co-opted to the board.
