School Governors
The Governing Body is essential to the strategic leadership of the school, working alongside the Head teacher and other senior leaders, to ensure that all statutory duties are met and management in policies, budgeting and staffing are effective and maintained to a high standard.
“The governing body provides good support and challenge. They, with the head teacher, have shaped an ethos of high expectations” (Ofsted, 2019).
The Governor’s Mission Statement
The Governing Body at Holden Clough Community Primary School believe in providing a broad, balanced and enjoyable education through supporting and encouraging everyone within the School so that every child can achieve their full potential.
