The Governing Board

On behalf of Whitehall Junior School’s Governing Board, I would like to welcome you to our website.

As a Governing Board we have three core functions:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction for the school
• Holding school leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the effective and efficient performance management of staff
• Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

We carry out this role through:

• Full governing board meetings and committee meetings
• Visiting the school to look at particular aspects of the school’s work and to talk to pupils and staff
• Attending training so that we are up to date with the latest developments in education and governance

Each term we provide a summary of some of our work in our Governors’ newsletter to parents which are attached below. The current school governors are also listed below.  

If you are interested in becoming a school governor, please contact the Clerk to the Governors,
Rebecca Wilson, ctogovernors@whitehalljunior.org
