Governors
The Role of the Governing Body at Oaklands
Our school governing board is responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. The Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school and staff.
The Governors' main roles include:
- To provide strategic direction for the school
- To ensure accountability
- Determining how the school's budget is spent
- Setting an outline of standards for pupils' behaviour and discipline
- Making sure school buildings are safe
- Setting and/or monitoring the school's aims and policies, including collective worship
- Hearing appeals and grievances
The full governing body meets at least once each term.
In addition, we have committees for Business (finance & personnel), Premises, and Pay and Appraisal.
If you would like to contact the Chair of Governors, please telephone the school office on 01935 425447 and ask for Mrs N Thurlow (Clerk to Governors).
