The Craylands Governing Body<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

As the governing body of The Craylands School, we will:<\/h3>\n

Use challenge to hold school leaders to account<\/h3>\n

Provide clarity of vision and strategic view<\/h3>\n

Ensure financial probity<\/h3>\n

Click here<\/a><\/strong>to find out more on how we will do this!<\/h4>\n

This is the constitution of our Governing Board:<\/p>\n

The Headteacher<\/p>\n

7 Co-opted Governors<\/p>\n

1 Local Authority Governor<\/p>\n

1 Staff Governor<\/p>\n

2 Parent Governors<\/p>\n

The Governing Board operates on the Circle Model of governance. This means that rather than having committees governors work as individuals or small groups to monitor the work of the school. They report back to the full governing body on their activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

GOVERNOR DIVERSITY<\/h1>\n

As a maintained school we have a duty to recognise that diverse thoughts, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation.<\/p>\n

The Craylands School believes it is important that Local Governing Committees reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and children.<\/p>\n

Collectively, we are gathering data on the diversity of our governors, including data on age, gender and ethnicity. We will use that data to inform recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.<\/p>\n

We do not publish any diversity information that may disclose personal information about individual governors. This is due to our legal obligation to protect their personal data.<\/p>\n
