Hello and welcome to the Bourton Meadow School website. I'm Joanna Robinson and I'm Chairman of Governors at this outstanding school.
The role of the governing body is an interesting one.
We have three main stipulated tasks, which are:
-
To provide a sense of direction for the work of the school
-
To support the work of the school as a 'critical friend'
-
To hold the school to account for the standards and quality of education it achieves.
Each year we sit down with Mrs Taylor Hopkins and her management team and agree what should be the school priorities for the coming year. Always the key question is "What can we do to further improve teaching and learning for everyone at Bourton Meadow?"
Teaching and learning is after all the core business of our school. As a Governing Body we bring a variety of different experiences to the school- marketing, personnel, local government, finance, the health service etc. so although none of us are educational specialists we can, hopefully, contribute usefully to the running of the school. Many of us also have children at the school!
I hope having looked at our website you will agree with me that Bourton Meadow has a well deserved reputation as a caring school which promotes the highest aims and expectations and where the pupils come first
