# Governors

![](https://ststephenskearsley.co.uk/images/General/IMG_2302.jpg)

#### There are 8 Governors, all from different backgrounds, who help and support the school:

- #### Foundation Governors – who are appointed by St Stephen's Church
- #### LA Governors – who are appointed by the Local Authority in Bolton
- #### Parent Governors – who are elected by the parents of the children who attend our school
- #### Teaching Governor – who is chosen by the staff

####

## How do Governors help and support the school?

- #### They are involved in planning our school's future development and direction
- #### They have high expectations of what our pupils can achieve
- #### They listen to our staff and support them in all areas of teaching and learning
- #### They encourage our pupils' spiritual, moral and social development
- #### They ensure the school is providing for all our pupils, irrespective of background, including those with special needs
- #### They are accountable for the performance of our school to parents and to the wider community
- #### They listen to advice from the Senior Leadership team as to how the school's budget should be spent, and make decisions
- #### They challenge by gathering views and asking questions
- #### They analyse the school's data
- #### They visit our school and talk to our pupils

#### We have two main Committees that our Governors attend;  Resources Commitee and School Effectiveness Comittee.
We have Governors assigned to each Key Stage in school - EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
And each of our Governors also have specific areas of responsibility across school.

#### There are no relevant business interests or family relationships between Governors and members of staff.
