"Volunteers need to be dedicated people who care about improving education. It makes the role perfect for professionals looking to improve their business and leadership skills, give back to society and enhance children’s futures." (Governors for Schools)
The Governing Body at Sholden School oversee the strategic direction of the school. It is made up of a wide range of individuals with many different skills and experiences. Members represent the parish, parents, the Local Education Authority and also staff. The Governing Body meets regularly throughout the year; there are also sub committees that take responsibility for finance and resources, premises and curriculum. The Governing Body is responsible for a number of areas: overall standards within the school; ensuring the school meets its statutory duties; safeguarding measures; the Christian ethos; the strategic direction of the school and the successful implementation of the school improvement plan and priorities.
"Governors have wide-ranging expertise and participate in training to enhance their skills." (OFSTED)
