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.
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 to deal with specific issues, 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.
- The minutes of the Full Governing Body are available by request.
