The Governing Body is formed by the school’s stakeholders - namely volunteers from the parent body, the local and wider community and employees of the school, such as the Headteacher and elected members of school staff.

The Purpose of the Governing Body

The School’s Governing Body oversees the development of the school; therefore, the role is primarily a strategic one, working together with the Headteacher. The Governors have a general responsibility for the conduct of the school, to uphold its vision and aims and to promote high standards of educational achievement. The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. 

As the Governing Body of Almondsbury CE Primary, we are appointed and elected to provide:

A visible form of accountability for the Headteacher and school staff.

A team focused on long term development and improvement.

Accountability to the community for the use of resources and the standards of teaching and learning in the school.

Support for the Headteacher and staff.

Strong links between the school and the community it serves.

An independent view.
