Clerk to Governors: Helen Hurst
The Full Governing Board is the school's accountable body.
The Full Governing Board’s core functions:
- To hold the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of all staff
- To ensure the clarity of the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction is maintained
- To oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure its budget is well spent.
The Full Governing Board adheres to a code of conduct known as the Nolan Principles (These standards are upheld by using the Seven Principles of Public Life) They set out the expectations, commitment and behaviour required to enable us as a Board to effectively carry out work within the school and its community.
As Governors we support the Head Teacher and senior leadership team, acting as ‘critical friends’ and we contribute a range of skills and expertise from our professional and personal lives to the Governing Board. All governors take responsibilities linked to the School Improvement Plan, and an integral part of our role is to strategically monitor these. To ensure robust school accountability, Governors make half termly visits and report back to the Full Governing Board.
The Full Governing Board meets together twice a term, alternating between both schools, and we are supported by a professional Clerk, who ensures any statutory responsibilities are met, also minuting any meetings. A wide range of training is available to support Governors in their role.
The Governing Board are always keen to hear from anyone who is interested in becoming a governor. If you would like more details on becoming a governor, please contact Lisa Cook, Chair of Governors, by email on Lisa.Cook@parkview.derby.sch.uk. Alternatively, contact Helen Hurst, Clerk of Governors by email on Helen.Hurst@parkview.derby.sch.uk
