Governance Structure of St Lawrence C of E (aided) Primary School, Chobham

For the academic year 2023-24, the full governing body of St Lawrence C of E (aided) Primary School operates in a traditional structure with all members attending Full Governing Body meetings (one per term), plus their allocated committee meetings.

We have two formal sub committees: Resources (finances) and Curriculum & Standards (teaching, learning and data).

The governing board also meets in September of each new academic year to agree the Work Programme for the year ahead, and appoint our Chair, Vice Chairs and other roles and responsibilities for the rest of the year. The minutes of all our meetings are available to view by appointment with the school office.

We have three smaller committees:

Pay Committee
Headteacher’s Appraisal Committee
Pay Appeals Committee

Membership of these committees is agreed annually in the Governing Body Business Meeting in September.

What does a Governing Body do?

Ensures clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holds the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
Oversees the financial performance of the school and ensures its money is well spent.

As a Voluntary Aided school the governors are also responsible for raising 10% towards any capital spending on our school.
