The Governing Body

Welcome to Brindle Gregson Lane Primary School Governing Body

 

Who are our school governors?

They are just people like you who want to make a positive contribution to our children’s education. Being a school governor is to be part of one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and our governors are all volunteers drawn from different parts of the community; parents, staff, LA, community and others who have skills and experience that they can bring to help the school. The role of the governing body is absolutely key to the effectiveness of our school. Time and time again Ofsted has noted that the most effective schools demonstrate effective leadership and management including that of the governing body.

 

What do governors at BGL do?

At Brindle Gregson Lane we have 9 governors at present, who work in partnership with the Mrs Wilson and the school staff to promote the very highest standards of educational achievement for all of our pupils.

The role of the governing board is a strategic, we aid the planning of the strategic direction of the school and we work closely with Mrs Wilson and all SLT to ensure that the school is making good progress towards its goals whilst underpinning the school visions and values. In order to do this we have delegated powers and functions for school finances, staffing and school performance. 

Individual governors may not act independently of the rest of the governing board, all decisions are the joint responsibility of the whole governing body.

In many ways it is a role that mainly happens behind the scenes and there are many decisions that we make as we work together with the school to make Brindle Gregson Lane the best school it can possibly be.

The below list details all our governors & their roles within the governing body.

The governors of Brindle Gregson Lane can declare that there are no business or financial interests; no governors hold governance roles in other institutions and that there are no material interests arising from relationships between ourselves and school staff (inclusive of spouses, partners and close relatives).
