Governors
Our Vision:
In 2016 Bainbridge, Askrigg and West Burton Primary Schools (BAWB) became a formal federation governed by one governing board:
Our Three Core Strategic Functions
- Ensuring clarity of vison, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
Our Team
BAWB-Federation-Governors-Summer-2024aCommittees
We have two committees and all governors are members of both:
- School Improvement
- Resources (largely dealing with finance)
Each committee, plus the full governing board, meeting each term.
The clerk to the governing board is Dominique Adams and can be contacted via [email protected]
What do our Governors do?
Some of us are link governors for specific areas:
- The Quality of Education; Wisdom, Knowledge and Skills
- Leadership and Management; Vision and leadership
- Personal Development; Hope, Aspiration, and Courageous Advocacy
- Behaviour and attitudes; Community and Living Well Together; Dignity and Respect
- Early Years
- SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability)
- Safeguarding
- Health and Safety
We undertake an annual monitoring programme of visits to the school which enables us to:-
- have an enhanced understanding of areas of strength and weakness so we are able to effectively support and hold senior leaders to account;
- improve pupil outcomes;
- secure statutory compliance;
- shape the direction of the school in partnership with senior and middle leaders.
