The Governing Body at High Ham is made up of ten individual governors each bringing different perspectives. Our full board includes parents (2), staff (2), Somerset Council (1) and the Diocese of Bath and Wells (2). We can also co-opt up to three people from the wider community and benefit from their particular skills and experience. By working together, we aim to:
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction for our school
- Hold the Headteacher and senior leaders at the school to account for wellbeing, learning and performance of our children and staff
- Oversee the financial performance of the school, making sure its money is well spent
Please contact the school office (office@highhamcofe.co.uk 01458250735) for more details about the work of the Governing Body, including the minutes of past meetings.
