Our Governors

Our school is a welcoming, happy and positive learning place in which everyone is encouraged and enabled to reach their full potential.

The Local Governing Body at Robert Le Kyng, together with the staff, are responsible for ensuring that the school delivers the best educational and learning environment possible. We bring a variety of experience to the school from a wide range of backgrounds in our working lives from business, local authorities and, maybe most importantly, because many of us have children at the school, as parents. We feel this is a real strength for a Governing body by having such an immediate link to the life and performance of the school. Every one of us wants to see the best for the school and for all the children here.

Performance of the school

As a Local Governing Body, we hold meetings 6 times per year where we monitor the performance of the school, the school’s finances and check to make sure it is running smoothly. Governors are also a member of other committees that meet throughout the year, such as Resources which monitor finance and health and safety issues.

Working closely with staff and the Headteacher

Whilst Governors are not involved in the day-to-day running of the school, that is the staff’s job after all, we work closely with staff and the Headteacher in particular to help make the decisions on how the school is run and ultimately to give the best start in life for all children.
Governors work closely with the school to promote high standards of educational achievement for all the children and have a wide range of responsibilities to fulfil.

We set the overall vision, practices and ethos by which the school operates, and hold the school to account for its actions – in its role as “critical friend”.
