What we do

Alongside the senior leadership team at Radcliffe Primary, governors are responsible for deciding on the strategic direction of the school. This includes contributing to decisions on:

• vision and values
• staffing
• curriculum
• finance
• premises
• behaviour and standards
• equality and inclusion
• health, safety and safeguarding
• extended school
• special educational needs
• parental and community engagement

We fulfil statutory duties to ensure that the school is a safe, healthy and inclusive place.
We support and challenge the school leadership team, acting as a ‘critical friend’.
We each contribute our experience and expertise to drive school improvement forward.
We meet in committees and once a term as a full Governing Body.

The Governing Body is drawn from the staff of the school, parents and the local community.

Parent governors play a vital role on the Governing Body and their contribution is greatly valued. If you are interested in becoming a parent governor, please contact Glyn Whitworth, Chair of Governors, via the school office.

Contacting the governors: We welcome the views of parents and are always happy to discuss any concerns or ideas you may have to improve the school.
