Governors
Governing Body Membership & Register of Governor Directorships
The role of the Governing Board is around strategic leadership, management and accountability.
The Governors manage the school’s finances, ensure that the premises are maintained well and are safe. They support the headteacher and other senior leaders to make decisions in the best interests of the pupils, and challenge them to provide the best possible education for our community. As the school is a stand-alone Academy, Governors of Woodland View are also formally listed at Companies House as the Trustees (Directors) of the Academy Trust.
As well as regular Full Governing Body meetings, there is a Finance Committee (chaired by Ellie Austin) and a Data Committee (chaired by Alison Talbot).
The Governing Board sets and agrees a code-of-conduct that is reviewed and approved each year. Individual Governors are required to sign individual statements of commitment to be bound by the code.
The attendance record of Governors at meetings is detailed on page 11 of the Company Accounts (also on this website). No allowances are paid to Governors.
The Board at Woodland View Primary School comprises the Headteacher, two Staff Governors (elected by staff), four Parent Governors (elected by parents) and four Community Governors (co-opted by the Governing Body). The current Governors are listed in the table:
