Governors at Rushmere Hall
|
We are incredibly lucky to have built a very strong Governing Body. The range of expertise is immense and if you look below you'll see the wealth of skills and experience the Governors bring to the Rushmere Hall Community.
Being a Governor is a tough job! It is a huge responsibility and a lot of time is needed for meetings and reading about the latest government plans. The success the school has had over the last year has been helped by the fact that we have a strong, challenging governing body who care a great deal about getting the absolute best for our children. Mr Paul Fykin Head Teacher

Welcome to the section of the website where you can find out more about the school’s governors, and the work that we do. You can also read the minutes from our meetings.
Our main role is to support the Headteacher and the staff – the phrase often used to describe this role is ‘a critical friend’. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life. The two key documents used for this are the School Development Plan (SDP) and the Self Evaluation Form (SEF). The SDP sets out a three year strategic plan for the school, with targets that everyone works towards and the SEF sets out how well the school is doing and where we aim to make improvements. Our legal duties include:- setting strategic direction, policies and objectives
There are several categories of governor, appointed by different groups that have an interest in the school. These are Community governors, the Local Authority (“LA”), Parents, and Staff. All governors have equal status, however they are appointed. We are committed to providing an excellent environment for all pupils to enjoy during their time at our school. Our Governing Body meetings are usually held in the evening. We attend training sessions and seminars to help us keep up to date with changes in schools and education and to help us do our job effectively. We also go into school to meet with the Headteacher, other members of staff and pupils to help us find out how the school is progressing towards its targets. Alex Davison Chair of Governors |

CONTACTING THE GOVERNORS
Parent Governors - Can often be seen in the playground picking up their children and so this is perfect for informal discussions. If you wish to make contact with a Governor... phone the school office or use the school email contact form. Provide us with a contact number that we can pass onto Governor's to make contact with you. Written material and complaints can be handed to the office and this information will be posted. Please note that there may be a slight delay in receiving a response this is because a number of Governors work full time in a number of different industries and may not always be able to make contact quickly. In the event of an urgent enquiry speak to the office and they will discuss your options. |
