Governors

Here at Vickerstown School decisions regarding the running of the school are made by a board of governors. The remit of the board is:

  • 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 financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

The governing body meets at least once a term to discuss current matters affecting the school including finance, staffing, curriculum, community and welfare.

The governing Board is made up of teachers, parents and community representatives. Each bring their own views to the meetings, but share a common view, with teaching staff, of what we are working towards at Vickerstown.

Our Chair of Governors is Mrs Helen Smith

Any correspondence for the governing board is to go to Andy Judd (Clerk to Governors) clerk@vickerstownschool.org.uk or David Holmes (Head Teacher)
