MOSTON FIELDS GOVERNING BODY

Updated September 2024

Chair of Governing Body               - Anne Taylor

 

What do Governors do?

Governors work as a team we call the 'Governing Body'.  They are responsible for making sure the school provides a good quality education.  Raising educational standards in school is now a key priority.  This has the best chance of happening when there are high expectations of what pupils can achieve. 

Governors also promote effective ways of teaching and learning when setting the school aims and policies.  They do this together with the Head teacher, who is responsible for the day to day management of the school. 

Every school must have a governing body.  The membership will vary according to the type of school.  The governing body at Moston Fields has 11 members.

All governing bodies include governors who are:

  • Parent elected by parents at the school - 3
  • Staff elected by Head, teachers and support staff at the school. The Head teacher is entitled to be a staff governor without an election - 2
  • Persons appointed by Manchester as the Local Authority (LA) - 1
  • Community, or Co-opted governors who are appointed by other members of the governing body - 5 

Usually a governor is appointed for a period of four years but may subsequently be eligible for re-appointment or re-election.

Governing bodies are responsible to parents, funders and the community.  The governing body's main role is to help raise standards of achievement by being;

  • accountable for the performance of the school to parents and the wider community
  • able to plan the school's future direction
  • able to select the Head teacher
  • able to make decisions on the school's budget and staffing
  • able to make sure the national curriculum is taught
  • able to decide how the school can encourage pupil's spiritual, moral and social development
  • able to make sure the school provides for all its pupils, including those with special needs
