About this Role

Thank you for considering becoming a governor at Oldfield Primary School. We have 208 pupils, with one class per age group from EYFS to Y6. Oldfield Primary School is dedicated to developing lifelong learners who contribute to communities and are prepared for their future.

One of the key functions of a governing board is to ensure that the school's vision, ethos, and strategic direction are clearly defined. At Oldfield Primary School, our vision and values inform every decision we make.

All staff are committed to excellence and the provision of a quality education which encourages effective social, emotional and moral development. We respect individuals' rights while providing a child-centred, safe, and healthy learning environment.

Our parents, colleagues and other agencies with whom we work are valued as collaborative partners in ensuring we give our learners the foundations on which we cooperate, achieve, respect and enjoy our learning.

The Local Governing Board have a focus on the quality of education, culture, and wider curriculum within each setting.

LGBs are not encumbered with the higher level regulatory, compliance and strategic responsibilities that lie with the Trustees and can have a sharp focus on the provision within their Academy.

The Trust Board has delegated responsibility to the LGB for:

Safeguarding

• - get to know the school, including visiting the school occasionally during school hours
