Governors
Welcome to the CNS Governing Body. This page will tell you about the make up and working of the Governing Body, where you can meet members of the Governing Body and how you could become a Governor at CNS. There are also links to the list of Governors, the School Policies and the School Profile. To find out about the exciting major building at CNS and how you could help us enhance it, please see the DraMus Project.
At CNS our Governing Body is made up of four types of Governor. We have 7 Parent Governors and 4 Staff Governors. All these governors are elected to the Governing Body apart from the Head teacher! There are 4 governors appointed by the Local Authority and 5 Community Governors who are co-opted by the rest of the Governing Body.
The
Governing Body works through four committees: The School Effectiveness
Committee chaired by Dr Lucinda Poliakoff, the Resources Committee
chaired by Mr Howard Jones, the Personnel Committee chaired by Mrs
Margaret Sparrow, and the Student and Parents Committee chaired by Mrs
Madeleine Keep. The current Chair of Governors is Dr Lucinda Poliakoff
and the Vice Chair is Mr Gareth Phillips.
The Governing Body is not involved in the day to day running of the school but helps to set the strategic direction of the school through agreeing policies, the school development plan and the budget. It also has a monitoring role through receiving reports and through the Governors collective knowledge of the school. You can view current governors' policies here.
