 Bincombe Valley Primary School Governors 

Welcome to the Governors' page.

Bincombe Valley Primary School has a team of Governors with a passion for education and a commitment to continuous school improvement, who work closely with the Headteacher and school leadership team. We aim to achieve this by developing an in-depth understanding of the school and using this knowledge to challenge and support the Headteacher and the team. We also ensure that the school's clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction are maintained; holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and it's pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and overseeing the financial performance of the school to ensure money in spent to the best advantage of our children. 

Our Governors consist of a group of volunteers drawn from parents, the community and the the school who give up our time and experience freely to support the continuing success of our school. We act as a corporate body and each governor receives training appropriate to the roles that they undertake.

The Full Governing Body meets twice each term and is supported by three sub-committees:

• People and Finance Committee.
• Curriculum Committee.
• Infrastructure Committee.

Annual priorities are laid down in the School Development Plan.

Individual Governors support our aim through:

• Active involvement with the school and the wider community in a variety of ways that reflect their interests and skills;
• The sharing of their knowledge and views with the other governors;
• Membership of  committees and
• On-going training and development.

Members of the Governing Body may be contacted through the school office.

Minutes of the Full Governing Body meetings may also be viewed on request through the school office.

The list below gives a brief summary of our governors. In addition we are supported  by our clerk,                    Rebecca Savage..
