Local Governing Body
Valley Primary School is a member of the Mosaic Schools Learning Trust.
The Board of Trustees at Mosaic Schools Learning Trust delegates powers and duties to Valley Primary School Local Governing Body, who then monitors, evaluates progress, and acts as a champion for the school in the community.
The role of the Valley Primary School Local Governing Body is to provide focused governance for the school at a local level.
Valley Primary School Local Governing Body monitors the school’s key performance indicators and acts as a critical friend to the Head teacher, providing challenge where appropriate.
The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the Head Teacher, who reports to Valley Primary School Local Governing Body and the Mosaic Board of Trustees.
Valley Primary School Local Governing Body meets at least once a term to discuss issues and developments, review policies, the finances and make important decisions about the running of the school.
Valley Primary School Local Governors are unpaid volunteers and are appointed or elected for four years.
Parent Governors are elected by parents following an election; Staff Governors are elected by a vote by staff (both teaching and support staff); Community Governors are appointed by the Local Governing Body. Parent Governors can stay to complete their term even if their child leaves the school.
The Interim Chair of the Local Governing Body is Katey Hewitt and she can be reached at: headofgovernance@mslt.org.uk
