Governors

Welcome to our Governors’ section

We are extremely proud of the school's achievements over the past years and we are excited to embrace the future and changes ahead for our school.

Your governing board is committed to playing an important role in supporting the leadership team and ensuring that the school is providing the highest quality of education for your children through sound governance and strategic support.

Our governing board comprises skilled parents, staff, the community, and the local authority. We have adopted what is known as a ‘circle approach’ to governance. This means individual committee meetings have been abolished and decision-making stays within the full board meetings where there is a rich and diverse bank of experience, knowledge and skills.

We meet every term against an annual scheme of work to discuss areas such as; policy & procedures, safeguarding, quality of education, curriculum delivery, leadership and management, Early years, personal development, health & safety, SEND, and financial sustainability. Each governor has a link role and is responsible for diving deeper and reporting on these areas based on their observations and critical questioning in accordance with the NGA governance code of conduct.

Our annual priorities are laid down in the School Development Plan.

Governor Behaviour Principles

The governors of CWPS have worked in partnership with all stakeholders to review the Behaviour for Learning Policy, and more specifically create our behaviour for learning characteristics.

The final characteristics are:

Listener

Enthusiastic

Ambitious

Resilient

Nurturing

Engaged

Respectful

Our expectation of pupils’ behaviour is very high and we expect all pupils to actively engage in their learning and demonstrate the above characteristics. The governors believe all children should take responsibility for their behaviour in line with the school behaviour levels. The British Values and the Spiritual, Moral and Social and Cultural curriculum underpin these expectations.
