Chair Of Governors
Mr Kevin Corke
On behalf of the Governors, it is a pleasure to welcome you to Ecclesall Primary School.
We are proud of our children, our dedicated staff and now we also have an amazing new building providing a modern learning environment.
The governors work closely with the head teacher and senior leadership team, setting the strategic direction for the school and supporting them in their commitment to providing our pupils the best possible education and experiences to develop their confidence, self esteem and personal development.
Ecclesall Primary school is a amazing, friendly school and I am confident your child will succeed in all they do during their time with us
Role of Governors
The Governors make decisions about how the school is run including staffing appointments. They monitor and help evaluate the work of the school. Since April 1st 1990 the Governors have been responsible for managing the budget as part of their responsibilities under Local Management of School legislation. The Governors meet at least once a term at school.
To become a Parent Governor: – You must have a child in the school – You must be elected by the parents Parent governors are elected, as are the other governors, to serve a term of four years.
Whilst parent governors speak as individuals they are able to bring the views of other parents to the governing body.
