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.
