Governor Vacancies.
The Severn Federation Governing Body has a vacancy for a Parent Governor. You must be a parent of a current pupil of Aylburton school to be eligible for this position. If you have any queries about the role please contact the Clerk; clerk@lydney.gloucs.sch.uk, or speak to the School Office.
If you would like more information about becoming a governor please contact the Clerk; clerk@lydney.gloucs.sch.uk.
The School Governors.
The Governors are responsible for all matters concerning the School, including the curriculum, maintenance of the buildings and appointment of staff. The Governors meet at least once a term.
Agenda and Minutes are available in the School office upon request.
The governing body is designed to look after the overall running of the school.
They are responsible for:
- Ensuring accountability.
- Monitoring and evaluating the school’s progress.
- Budgetary allocation and control.
- Planning for the long term future of the school.
- Setting the school’s aims and values.
- Appointing senior members of staff including the Head Teacher.
Whilst the governors are always open to ideas and opinions they are not primarily responsible for:
- Discussing the individual needs of pupils (please contact your childs teacher for this).
- Complaints/concerns about staff (this should initially be addressed to the Head Teacher).
- Fund raising and social events (this is run by the Friends).
