The Curriculum Committee looks at all aspects of the children’s learning and well-being while the Resources Committee monitors the financial and personnel issues, as well as dealing with the upkeep of the buildings and grounds. All Governors are encouraged to regularly attend training sessions to understand their role and to ensure they are fully informed of the latest developments in education. There are 11 Governor posts comprising LEA, Parent, Community and Staff Governors. Any Parent Governor vacancies will be advertised and all parents will have the opportunity to put their name forward for election. If any parent is interested in becoming a Governor please contact the Clerk to the Governors as detailed on the last page.
Last year we were sorry to say goodbye to Dr Roy Birch who retired after being a Governor of Droxford Junior School for 12 years and Chair of Governors for 8 years. Mike Keegan has been elected as the new Chair with Ted Shaw as his Deputy. We were also sorry to say goodbye to Reverend Jim Foley and Graeme Donaldson who have both been governors for a number of years.
The Governors have great faith in the headteacher and the staff and the team has recently been strengthened further with the arrival of Matthew Dampier as our new deputy headteacher.
