Governance
We are most fortunate to have a highly skilled and experienced Governing Board at Broseley C of E Primary School. Our Governors are representatives of the local community, the church, parents, school staff and the Local Education Authority. They bring a range of interests, knowledge and skills to the school whilst working in a voluntary capacity. Governors play an active role as a ‘critical friend’ to leaders of Broseley C of E Primary School. Their work is crucial in helping the school to continue to develop and improve: providing support, challenge and strategic direction to our school. Our Governors share leaders' high ambitions for the future of our school and pupils; they regularly visit school to talk to staff, pupils and parents, to make sure that these ambitions are realised.
Our most recent OfSTED Report (April 2023) states: 'Governors take their responsibilities seriously. This includes taking into consideration staff and leaders’ well-being. Leaders provide appropriate support to teachers.'
The three core functions of the Governing Body are:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- Holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the school(s) and its pupils and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school(s) and making sure that its money is well spent.
To enable this, we termly committee meetings as well as Full Governing Board meetings (FGB). Committee and FGB membership is outlined below.

Register of Business Interests 2023-2024
From 1 September 2015, governing bodies have a duty to publish on their website their register of interests. The register should set out the relevant business interests of governors and details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register should also set out any relationships between governors and members of the school staff including spouses, partners and relatives. ‘None’ should be the recorded entry on the register by governors who have no interests to register.
