Governing Body
Ranworth Governors devised new terms of reference based upon The Circle Model, a Whole Governing Board Approach.
The Governing Board works as a ‘whole team’, meeting 6 times per year, twice each term, with just a couple of separate committees (Finance & pay).
An annual planner and agenda for each meeting include all the tasks that the Governing Board is required to consider. The Governing Board commissions assignments or activities arising from the business of the meeting.
The Governing Board in order to ensure its core functions are fulfilled delegate monitoring responsibilities to ‘monitoring pairs’ or ‘individuals’. These include the statutory required individual roles and those focused on the priorities of the School Development Plan. In each case where a function has been delegated, there is a statutory duty to report any action or decision to the Governing Board at the next meeting.
