Rushton School Governors

Any questions for the governors please contact them on -

The management of the school is carried out through a partnership between the Governing Body, the Head Teacher and the Education Service. The Headteacher and staff manage the school on a day-to-day basis within the policies made by the Governing Body under its strategic role.

The Governing Body has particular responsibility for:

All aspects of the Curriculum - all subjects including Literacy and Numeracy
The School Development/Improvement Plan - including recommendations from any OfSTED inspection
Setting targets for and monitoring school improvement
Staffing numbers and salaries, the appointment of the Headteacher and staff
The setting and management of the school budget
Care and maintenance of the premises, especially Health and Safety matters
Safeguarding
Pupil behaviour guidelines, and procedures for pupil exclusions

We are often in school so if you would like to ask a question or speak to one of us please just approach us or alternatively email or speak to Michelle (School Business Manager) and one of us will contact you.
