The Governing body are very committed to the continued development of Singleton School. They are pro-active within our school and can often be seen monitoring the standards and talking to our children during school hours.

The Governors feel developing a good relationship with parents is crucial to the success of our school. The Chair of Governors, Laura Walker, provides regular letters to the parents updating them on school developments and actively encourages parents to have a voice, giving them the opportunity to contact her at any time.

The full Governing Body meets once per term and each governor is a member of at least one of the four main committees: –

  • Standards and Effectiveness
  • Resources
  • Governance
  • SHE- Safety, Health and Environment Committee

These committees meet between once and twice per term, dependent upon the business to be discussed or resolved. Attendance for Governing Meetings can be viewed in the attachments below.

Other committees or sub-committees are formed to deal with specific issues that arise from time to time, for example the appointment of new staff.

A structure of the various different committees and also the nominated governor roles are available to view here.
