Meet the Governing Body

Meet the Governing Body

The Academy Governing Body (AGB) of Gatley Primary School has three core functions and is responsible for:

• ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
• to support and challenge the systems within the school to ensure the performance of the school remains at its highest level;
• overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

 To ensure effective governance, the following have been put in place:

• the appointment of individuals with the necessary skills, and diversity of perspectives;
• an effective chair and an explicit governor code of conduct;
• clear governance structures with tightly defined remits;
• clear separation, but a positive relationship, between the role of the board and its school leaders;
• the support and advice of an independent and professional clerk;
• robust processes for finance, business planning and compliance;
• processes for regular self-evaluation, review and improvement.

Our AGB is chaired by Mike Chow, who can be contacted by email at: cog@gatleyprimary.com
