Governance

Schools are run by a board of School Governors working together with staff to help ensure the very best education for all of the pupils. School Governors are volunteers from all walks of life, with a wide variety of knowledge and skills who challenge and support the headteacher.

The School Governors are a team of people who work closely with Mr Hunt to support key decisions, which are vital to the successful running of our school. The Governors appoint the Head Teacher and make decisions that directly affect the education and well-being of the children. They play an important role in improving standards throughout the school by supporting and challenging the headteacher, as well as agreeing the school’s budget. They are split into two sub-committees, Resources and Standards.

Parent Governors are elected by the parents of children in the school. Co-opted Governors are co-opted by the governing body. Staff Governors are appointed by members of staff. The Associate Member is invited to attend meetings by the governing body. Local Governors (for Golborne Community Primary School) are appointed by the Trust Board. This area of the website introduces each of our Governors and informs you of their role.

More information on the role of Governors can be found on the DfE website. The Governors’ Register of Interest can be viewed here.
