Governors

The Governing Body meets at least once a term, sometimes every half term.

Within this group we also have a Business Sub-Committee and Education Sub-Committee who also meet at least three times a year. These sub-committees look in more detail at the school’s plans for improvement, how we spend our money, and how well the school is doing in meeting the needs of the children in the school.

The main drive (as in all schools) is to raise standards in reading, writing and maths. However, the Governing Body recognise that this needs to be done alongside providing a broad, exciting curriculum.

There some key link roles on the Governing Body, who provide an additional link to school leaders across Wellsprings.

Our Inclusion, Safeguarding, Mental Health, EYFS, Computing and Health and Safety Governors meet regularly with subject leads within the school, ensuring that Governors provide feedback from their visits.
