Welcome to the Governors’ pages of the Branfil Primary School website.
The Governing Body is made up of a number of people who have volunteered to use their skills, time and experience for the benefit of the school.
The Governing Body is made up of:
- Parent Governors – elected by the parents at the school;
- Staff Governors (teachers & support staff);
- The Headteacher
- Co-opted Governors – these governors are appointed by the Governing Body to represent the community that the school serves.
As Governors, our primary focus is to enable and support the Headteacher in our shared goal of providing the best education possible for the children at Branfil. We do this through meetings of the Governing Body and its committees and the formal and informal visits made to the school when we have an opportunity to talk to the children, staff and Headteacher.
The Governing Body meets on a termly basis to discuss current issues and future plans; it considers the work of the committees and receives recommendations. The sub committees also meet on a termly basis and have the opportunity to discuss and consider ideas, proposals and plans to enhance and improve the school.
Our Acting Chair of Governors is Kim McWilliam.
If you have any questions for the Governing Body we can be contacted through the school office.
