Governance

Welcome to our Governors’ section. 

This page will be updated with the new committee structure after the First Full Governing Body Meeting in November 2023

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor. We keep a record of attendance at meetings which are kept in the School Governors File in the School Office. Governors may be part of either or both committees  (Resources or Curriculum). Meetings are held after school in the Nursery Classroom or via Teams online video calling as appropriate.

Governing Body Changes 2023-24

We would like to thank our retiring Chair of Governors, Tazleem Kauser, who has served on our Governing Board for many years. Thank you for making a difference to our Woodfield families we wish her the very best for the future. 

 

We have two new prospective Governors this year who will hopefully be joining us and would like to welcome Mrs Farah Hussain and Mr Jonathon Watson. 

 

At Woodfield our Governing Body is committed to training to ensure that they have the ability to challenge and support the Headteacher and School to be the best they can be. Future training will focus on finance, curriculum and safeguarding.
