Highfields School Governing Board 2020-21

Highfields School is fortunate in the kinds of people who have volunteered to become governors, each bringing a variety of skills and experience to support the school.

The composition of the governing board for 2020-21 is split as follows. Each governor serves a four year term of office.

Name

Governor Type Link Governor Area

Miss Angeline Ellson Chair of Governors Co-opted Leadership and strategy Mr Paul Steeples Vice Chair of Governors Co-opted Mr Rob Atkinson Co-opted Inclusion (SEND, behaviour, attendance)

Highfields governing board has a strong focus on three core strategic functions: • ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction • holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its students, and the performance management of staff, and • overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

All governors are required to: • undertake appropriate induction training • prepare for and attend all meetings regularly • undertake further training to develop their skills
