What do we do?

The Governors and Headteacher of Saxon Wood School work closely together to strategically plan for continued improvement of standards (social, emotional and academic) and ensure that the school's policies and procedures are robust and effective. 

The Governing Body is made up of one Local Authority Governor (vacancy), four Co-opted Governors (two vacancies), 3 Parent Governors, one Staff Governor (vacancy) and the Headteacher.

School Governors are unpaid volunteers. They meet formally twice each term for about one and a half hours. Amongst other tasks, Governors help:

• Monitor the curriculum and how the school operates.
• Set a financial budget, monitor spending and approve actions where new costs are involved.
• Set School Improvement Targets and help formulate the School Development Plan.
• Receive and discuss the Head Teacher's termly reports on the school.
• Approve School outings programmes.
