Governance at East Park Primary School
Our governors act as the critical friend of the headteacher and senior leadership team, and provide support and challenge to ensure the effective running of the school. Their key responsibilities include:
- ensuring the quality of educational provision;
- challenging and monitoring the performance of the school;
- ensuring the wellbeing of our school community.
In order to fulfil these responsibilities, our local governors will:
- help the school to set high standards by planning for the school’s future and setting targets for school improvement;
- keep the pressure up on school improvement by monitoring and evaluating the progress the school is making towards it’s set aims and objectives;
- be a critical friend to the school, offering support and advice;
- help the school respond to the needs of parents and the community;
- work with the school on planning, developing policies and keeping these under review;
- exercise its responsibilities and powers in partnership with the headteacher and staff;
- not intervene in the day-to-day management of the school.

I am very happy to be the Chair of Governors for East Park. I have worked in and with schools for over 40 years and just love the fact that the children at the school are always central to every decision made. Their safety, well-being and educational achievement are of paramount importance to every adult in the school. I have two grandchildren, one of whom attends the school, and I am often on the school run!
