How is the Governing Body structured?

The Governing Body of Ordsall Primary School currently operates in five distinct committees and/or groups:

  1. The Joint Committee, which addresses issues including strategic development, pupils, personnel and finance. 
  2. The Pay Committee, which addresses issues including teachers' pay, the pay policy and appraisal.
  3. The Health and Safety governors, who address issues including appropriate and regular checks on the school's documentation relating to health and safety.
  4. The Safeguarding governors, who address issues including the audit of safeguarding and regular checks on the school's documentation relating to safeguarding.
  5. The Full Governing Body.

Further details of the responsibilities of each group are held within the school's scheme of delegation.

At the conclusion of the meetings listed above, it was resolved by Governors that, under regulation 15 of the School Governance Regs 2013, the governing body is satisfied that all the details of financial (excluding pupil premium and sports funding), personnel matters and the headteacher’s report should remain confidential (by reason of their nature).

Copies of the minutes for the above meetings are available on request.
