School Governors
The Governors
A Meeting of the Board of Governors is held each term. The Minutes of this Meeting are available for inspection in school. All Governors can be contacted via the school should parent/carers wish to speak to them.
The Governing Body is responsible for setting out the aims of Windhill Primary School, managing the budget and appointing staff. The Governing Body and staff are jointly responsible to ensure that the education, wellbeing and welfare of the children are carried out to the highest degree.

The Governing Body ensures that we have the capacity to raise overall standards and continually improve. Ofsted considers the Governing Body to be part of the leadership of the school, though governors do not manage the school, that is the job of the Headteacher and Leadership Team. However they do oversee the development of the school and act as a ‘critical friend’ to ensure we always provide a high standard of education to the inclusion of all pupils.
At Windhill Primary School we are fortunate to have a dedicated team of Governors who are actively involved in all aspects of school life.
