Governors

Here at Rakegate we are very fortunate to have a keen and supportive group of Governors that support and challenge the school.


We currently have 11 Governors and 0 Vacancy.

​

  • Parent Governors are voted onto the body by the parents/carers of the school and serve for a period of four years.

  • Staff Governors are appointed by the staff through nominations and then a vote takes place.

  • Local Council and Community Representatives are nominated by members of the full governing body and then a vote takes place.

 

Our Governors do not have any business interests and do not Govern at any other schools.

​

Relationships between Governors:

​

Mrs D New is the mother to Miss A New.

 

Governors are rather like a board of directors. They make decisions about how the school is run. They meet at least once a term as a full Governing Body but also form committees that meet more regularly.

 

Governors are appointed to help:

​

  • decide what is taught

  • set standards of behaviour

  • interview and select staff

  • help to decide how the budget is spent

 

School Governors are:

​

  • parents

  • staff from the school

  • local council and community representatives

​

All governors have full voting rights, including associate governors.

Committee Structure

The school do not have specific governors for F&GP and Curriculum committees; all members are invited to these. Mr John Martin is the chair of these committees.

 

Pay Committee: Mr John Martin (Chair), Mr Clive Hodges and Mrs Sarah Horton. 

​

Headteacher’s Performance Management: Mr John Martin (Chair), Mrs Denise New and Mr Clive Hodges.

​

The Performance Management Committee is made up of at least 2 Governors, without an interest.

 

All other Committees have a quorum of 3 and no members named.

 

Should you wish to communicate with a Governor please contact the school office initially and your request or message will be passed on to them.
