Meet the Governors
Meet the Governors
There are 11 members of the governing body at Carr Head, (currently 2 vacancies), all of whom give their time freely for the good of the school and the children. The full governing body meets once each term and the smaller committees feedback to the full governing body. The role of the governing body is to provide support and challenge for the headteacher and to hold the headteacher to account. The focus of the main committees are standards, resources/ finance and health and safety/buildings. Individual governors may be tasked with monitoring specific curriculum areas and the impact on learning within these areas.
Chair of Governors: Mrs. Esther Ward
Deputy Chair of Governors: Mrs. Karen Brammall
All governors are appointed for a term of office of 4 years.
All governors are appointed by the governing body unless they are elected
by a parental ballot which happens when there are more candidates than vacancies.
