Governors

The Oakley Church of England Junior School Governing Body has overall responsibility for supervising the strategic direction of the school. It is an integral part of the leadership structure of the school which both challenges and supports the Headteacher and staff to constantly raise standards and improve outcomes for all pupils. Their duties include regular monitoring of pupil learning, progress and attainment, development of a school strategic, annual school development plan and input into school self-evaluation processes, appointment of staff, monitoring of staff performance and pay, formulation and monitoring of statutory policies, approval of the annual budget and monitoring of spending including pupil premium initiatives.  

The Governing Body also oversee the curriculum within the school and, as well as ensuring there is a strong safeguarding culture within the school community, they encourage mental health and wellbeing among staff and pupils. The Governing Body comprises a combination of appointed and elected governors. The Diocese of Winchester appoints the Foundation Governors. The Co-opted governors are appointed by the Governing Board who, in their opinion, have the skills required to contribute to the governance and success of the school. The Parent Governors are elected by the parents of pupils at the school and must be a parent/carer of a child attending the school.  

The Headteacher is a member of the Governing Body and there is a Staff Governor elected by the teachers at the school. Ian Page is Chair and Janet Cullinane is Vice-Chair and Safeguarding Governor of the Governing Body. A list of the governors is set out in the attachment below.  

Being a governor is both hugely challenging but enormously rewarding. As volunteers to the school, we derive a great deal of personal satisfaction in the knowledge that the staff, teachers and, most importantly, the pupils will hopefully benefit from our efforts. If you are interested in becoming a school governor, we would love to hear from you. If you wish to, contact the governing body. Any correspondence should be addressed to the Clerk, Tracey Wood, at the school. Emails can be sent to the gb@oakley-jun.hants.sch.uk
