The purpose of the governing body

The Role of the Governing Body

As the school's accountable entity, the governing body plays a crucial role in overseeing the school's conduct and promoting high standards. Its primary objective is to ensure that the school provides a successful educational experience, fostering both academic achievement and the overall wellbeing of the students.

In the evolving landscape of education, governing bodies have seen an expansion of responsibilities. The 'Every Child Matters' agenda has broadened the scope, requiring schools to be accountable for children's health and wellbeing in the community, extending to the provision of various services beyond regular school hours.

The Governing Body:
Provides strategic direction to the school by:

• Setting the values, aims and objectives for the school
• Agreeing the policy framework for achieving those aims and objectives
• Setting statutory targets
• Agreeing the school improvement strategy, which includes approving the budget and agreeing the staffing structure 

The full governing body convenes once per term, where the headteacher presents comprehensive reports on learning, progress, staffing, and financial and premises matters.

Our commitment is unwavering in creating an excellent environment that ensures all pupils enjoy a fulfilling educational experience during their time at our school.

Our Chair of Governors is Mrs Sharan Ghuman who can be contacted via email sghuman@pippins.slough.sch.uk
