The Governing Body of King’s Stanley Church of England Primary School

The Governing Body is made up of 14 Governors who are all volunteers who are committed to giving our children the best education they can.

There are:

1 Head Teacher

1 Staff Member

4 Co-opted Governors who are appointed by the Full Governing Body

5 Parent Governors who are voted in by the parents at the school

2 Foundation Governors who are local people appointed by the Church of England

1 LEA Governor appointed by the County

The Full Governing Body meets six times a year and in between each Full Governors’ meeting the two committees meet - Resources (with a Confidential Personnel Sub Committee) and Performance & Standards/Curriculum. We also have a Head Teacher Appraisal Panel and a Pay Panel. Other panels are convened as needed.

Apart from the meetings the Governors come into school to help in many different ways. They see lessons and talk with teachers, they oversee any building repairs, they take assemblies and they talk with parents and offer invaluable advice. They are also responsible for appointing staff.

The Clerk to the Governor, Barry Parsons, ensures that all the paper work is kept up to date.

The Governors are led by Sam Attrill and Helena Gauterin, Joint Chair of Governors.
