Our Governors
We are very fortunate to have a committed and dedicated team of governors who sit on our Local Academy Committee. Their role is crucial in the development of St. Giles CE Primary and Nursery School.
The law states that the purpose of governing bodies in our type of school, is to “conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement at the school” (Section 21(2) Education Act 2002).
Our Local Academy Committee are focused on the following areas:
- Standards
- Stakeholders
- Safeguarding
- SEND
- Finance
