SCHOOL GOVERNING BODY
We have photographs and names of all the Governors in our entrance hall. The Parent governors are likely to be your first point of contact and will be happy to discuss any aspects of school life and organisation with you. They will, if necessary, also raise any issues which concern parents at the actual Governing body meetings. These are held once a term and are attended by Governors who represent parents, teaching and support staff, the LEA and the wider school community.
The Governing body is a vital working part of the school structure, where all aspects of school life is discussed and policy decisions are made. The Governing body has agreed that apart from confidential items, that meetings will be “open” so that parents may, if they wish attend these termly meetings but only your representative can speak on your behalf. The minutes of these meetings are always available in the entrance hall. If you require any other information regarding the Governing body, please contact the Headteacher .
Once a year, Governors organise a Parents meeting where all aspects of the previous school year are discussed. The agenda and reports, which will be discussed, are sent out to you in advance of the meeting.
The Governors send out their own newsletter to keep you informed of events.

Message from the Chair of Governors
As Chair of Governors it is my role to support the Headteacher, staff and children as they work together to move the school forward.
I enjoy visiting the school and am always impressed by the hard work of staff and pupils alike, the support that is offered to the children, the friendly atmosphere and by the wide range of activities that are on offer
The school governing body contains parents, staff and members of the wider community. Together we are committed to ensuring that Whitehill School meets its aims of inspiring children, not only by supporting academic achievement but also through offering the children the chances to enjoy music, art, French, after school clubs, residential trips and lots, lots more.
J Wells
