Governors are responsible for overseeing the running of the school, acting as a critical friend and challenging the Headteacher, Senior Leaders and staff to ensure students access high quality teaching and learning, the school’s funds from the government are used to best advantage for the school and that all staff and students have a safe and stimulating environment in which to teach, work and learn.
The Governors' work is managed through a series of ten Full Governing Body meetings throughout the year, with a focus on Achievement and Learning, Finance and Resources and Pastoral issues.
Governors receive reports from SLT and key school staff, approve policies, approve the budget and receive the Headteacher and SLT report on the progress the school is making, as detailed in their three year Strategic Plan and annual School Improvement Plan
Governance at Crestwood Community School is very good, as identified by Ofsted, though we are always succession planning for new governors and interested to hear from people who would like to be more involved.
