Governors

Cove Infant School is very much part of the community to which we - pupils, parents, teachers and governors - all belong.  The governors share a common interest in our school and recognise that the school has a role to play in the success of the community, which it serves.

We value the diversity of our governing body which is reflective of the school's community.

 

The governors are responsible for the general management of the school, acting within a policy framework set by National Legislation.  It is the responsibility of the Headteacher to carry out the day-to-day management of the school.  At Cove Infant School the Headteacher and governors work in partnership and liaise closely on all matters affecting the school.

 

The governors meet formally twice a term. Governors will also meet at other times with a focus on specific aspects of school life, either as a whole or in working groups where appropriate.  All fundamental decisions would only be taken at a full meeting of the governors.

Governors at Cove Infant School are either elected, appointed or co-opted.  A Chair and vice-chair are elected each year to conduct the meetings and to be available for contact by the Headteacher.  A clerk to the governors is also appointed to take minutes and to deal with correspondence.
