Governance at Moor Park Primary School

The Governing Board has three core functions, as set out in the Department for Education’s (DfE) Governance Handbook. 

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding Executive Leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent. 

 

Governance Arrangements

To undertake the core functions, we have established the following governance structure for Moor Park Primary School:

  • Two Parent Governors
  • One Local Authority Governor
  • One Staff Governor
  • One Headteacher
  • Seven Co-opted Governors

The total number of Governors on the Board is twelve.

 

We have 6 scheduled meetings of the Full Governing Board in an academic year.
