School Governors
Thorngumbald Primary School has a dedicated and dynamic Governing Body who oversee the strategic direction for the school. The achievement and personal well-being of all pupils is central to their vision.
Governors are appointed to:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
Becoming a Governor
Being a Governor is a voluntary role but very rewarding. The Governing Board are currently looking to recruit two Parent Governors. Parent Governors are appointed by election, this helps to ensure that boards stay accessible and connected to the community they serve and that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making. If you would like to: · Make a difference · Get to know your community · Develop your skills · Improve your knowledge about the education sector · Have a challenge · Have fun! We would love to hear from you. The school will be holding parent governor elections during the autumn term and further information will follow on how to apply. Alternatively, to find out more information about becoming a School Governor or to discuss this further please contact the School Office or email: lisa.devine@eastriding.gov.uk.
