Governors

The Governing Body is responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management of the school, the Governing Body sets the school’s aims and policies.

Key roles of Governors:

• To ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

• To hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff

• To oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its money is well spent
  The Governors also carry out a number of other important duties, which include:

• Determining how the school’s budget is spent

• The appointing and dismissing of staff

• Hearing appeals and grievances

• Forming policy on the school’s curriculum and collective worship

• Setting standards for pupils’ behaviour and discipline

• Making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe

• Setting and monitoring the school’s aims and policies

  How we work in practice:

  There is a meeting of all Governors at least once each term. However, some of the work takes place in working groups. Some Governors also have specific roles, such as the SEN Governor and Safeguarding Governor.

  At the meeting Governors receive and discuss reports from the working groups as well as from the headteacher.

St Anne's Catholic Primary School Governing Body consists of:

•  The Headteacher

•  One elected staff governor

•  One appointed local authority governor

•  Two elected parent governors

•  Seven foundation governors

The standard term of office for a governor is four years. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are elected annually at the first meeting of the academic year.

The Chairperson is Mr M Shaw, who can be contacted via the school office or by emailing the Clerk to the Governors annes-ao@st-annes.liverpool.sch.uk.

 At St Anne's Catholic Primary we have the following sub-committees

Finance, Personnel & Premises Committee

In consultation with the Headteacher, this committee:-

• Drafts/approves the first formal budget plan of the year and establishes and maintains an up to date 3 year financial plan.

• It oversees all financial activities within school and ensures the school operates within the Financial Regulations of the City Council.

• Drafts and keeps under review the school staffing structure.

• Establishes and reviews the Performance Management policy for all staff and oversees all personnel processes in school.

• Advises the Governing Body on premises priorities, including Health and Safety, for the maintenance and development of the school’s premises.

Monitoring Committee

• This committee monitors and evaluates pupil progress and attainment, standards of teaching and learning, Leadership and Management and all School Development Priorities.
