Governors at Penpol School

The governors of the school are required to focus upon three strategic areas and hold our headteacher to account.
– The ethos and strategic direction of the school.
– The educational performance of the school and it’s pupils.
– The financial performance of the school.

Our governing body has representatives from the staff, parents, the local authority and various sectors of the wider community, bringing a wide range of skills and experience

We are all very proud to play our part in supporting the school and our students. We want each child to feel safe and to enjoy their time at Penpol. It is our firm commitment that every child receives the provision they deserve in order to achieve the best possible outcomes on both their academic and personal journeys.

Nikki Powell, Chair of Governors.

Sub Committees

The fundamental role of the Governors is to work closely with the Headteacher and staff, helping to provide a strategic overview, act as a critical friend to the school and ensure accountability. To make certain that all key aspects are considered and the Governors legal duties are adhered to, the main Governing Body has been coordinated into three sub committees, with each group playing a specific role as outlined below.
