The Haddenham Community Schools Governing Board
Who we are & what we do.
Haddenham Community Junior School is part of a federation with Haddenham Community Infant School. This means that the same board works across both schools. The board is composed of staff, parents and representatives of the local authority and our community.
Our remit as governors is to work as a team with the Headteachers to provide strategic management for both schools. The governing board sets the school's aims and objectives with a view to promoting high standards of education and achievement.
The whole Governing Board meets formally once every term and additionally when required. Each of the following sub-committees meets at least once a term.
The Finance, Premises and Health & Safety Committee prepares the annual financial plan and regularly reviews the condition of the school buildings.
The Curriculum Committee advises on all matters relating to the curriculum, working with staff to review and revise teaching policies. It tracks the school performance: monitoring achievements against targets that have been set.
The Pay & Personnel Committee considers the staffing of the school and agrees any pay related changes.
