Governance

Welcome to the Governors' section.

The William Alvey School Articles of Association

 

The William Alvey School has two layers of governance. The first layer is made up of 'Trustees', who are more commonly referred to as governors, and are collectively known as the school's governing body. A governing body is a group of people who support the leadership and management of a school. Each governor contributes to the work of the governing body, which involves:

  • Ensuring there is a clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction for the school
  • Holding senior leaders to account for the educational performance of all pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

Governors have a responsibility to the staff and pupils of the school and the school’s wider community. They must have an interest in our children’s future, be willing to contribute and make a difference, and respect the need for confidentiality. Governors must act with integrity, objectivity and honesty and in the best interests of the school.

Our governing body is made up of:

  • Parent governors - whose role it is to represent the views of all parents
  • Community governors - who represent the interests of the local area
  • Foundation governors - appointed by the church
  • Co-opted governors - appointed to either help with a specific issue or to add certain skills/knowledge to the governing body
  • Our Headteacher is a member of our governing body. He mainly attends meetings to explain what is happening in school, and to be held to account, for these actions.  

The names, and roles, of our governors are:

Leah Kirkman - Chair of Governors, who can be contacted at chair@william-alvey.lincs.sch.uk

Amanda Jay - Vice Chair of Governors

Suzie Pell - Parent Governor
