Hambledon Primary School Governors

Hambledon Primary School has a dedicated and enthusiastic team of governors with representatives from several groups including parents, the community and local authority. The purpose of the governing body is to help the school deliver the best possible education by fulfilling the following principle objectives;

• Setting the school’s vision, strategic aims and policies
• Monitoring and evaluating performance
• Ensuring the school is accountable to all its stakeholders

Our Governing Body

We are active in many development areas within the school whilst fulfilling our role in ‘overseeing’ the school’s progress, attending monitoring visits and providing a ‘critical friend’ role to the school as a whole. We have a flat structure governing body where every governor attends all of the meetings. The 10 FGB meetings are scheduled to meet statutory deadlines and data drops, and cover school finances, curriculum and teaching standards. Having a flat governance structure ensures that all governors have a full understanding of all aspects of school life.

We currently have vacancies on our governing body and are looking for enthusiastic individuals who have the time and energy to commit to helping us strategically support and oversee Hambledon Primary School. If you would like further information please contact us at governing.body@hambledon.hants.sch.uk

The governors believe it is important that boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.

The governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender, and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making.

Due to our relatively small governing board, we will not publish this diversity data online as individual governors could be identified and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
