Our Governors

Warfield C of E Primary School has a constitution of 15 governors, of which a minimum of 2 must be represented by the Parent body and each term of office for a governor is usually 4 years.

Staff Governors and Parent Governors are elected by a ballot of the communities they represent; Foundation Governors are appointed by the Oxford Diocesan Board of Education; LA (Local Authority) and Co-opted governors are appointed by the Governing Board and Associate Members are appointed by the Board for their specific skills and expertiseGovernors and the Clerk to the Governors may be contacted on claire.pollard@warfieldprimary.co.uk.

The Department for Education (DfE) has specified three core functions that governing boards should prioritise:

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

In addition, the governing board has a role to play in ensuring the school is compliant with educational and other legislation, such as safeguarding, equality, and health and safety
