The Governing Body
The three core strategic functions of Little Dewchurch Governing Body are:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its students
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure that its money is well spent.
Governors are also responsible for ensuring that the school meets statutory requirements
Diversity Data
The governors of the Little Dewchurch Primary School believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.
Due to our relatively small governing body, we do not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
Should anybody wish to contact our Governing Board you can email our Chair, David Davies, on;
