Letter from the Chair of the Governing Body 

An effective governing body is one that works as a team, understands the role and responsibilities and has the right people around the table. Being a governor is a great way of being involved in the life of the school, it can at times be a challenge but is extremely rewarding.
Singleton School is a vibrant, creative and busy place.  The governing body needs governors who are interested, committed, and have some spare time to give. You will be part of a team that work and support each other.

Governance is about overseeing the success of the school. It is about agreeing priorities and monitoring progress towards them. It is not about running or managing the school– that is the job of our teaching staff.

To be a governor you do not need any specific skills or qualifications, the governing body will review its membership, identify if there is a skills gap and will endeavor to encourage people with those skills to consider becoming a governor. Existing skills may be used but many new skills can also be gained. There is a full training program that you can be involved in if you so wish.

Please do get in touch via the school office if you are interested in joining our Governing body.

Regards,

Alec Davies
Chair of Governors
