Welcome to our Governor's Section
Thornhill Primary School has a brand new Governing Committee, this is the start of an exciting new era for the school.
The committee runs as part of the overall Hamwic Governance structure, more details on that can be found here - http://www.hamwic.org/governance
The committee has three core functions as set out in law. These are:
The full Governing Committee meets twice each term and is currently composed of:
There are vacancies so if either yourself or someone you know might be interested in joining the Governing Committee please email the Clerk of the Governors to express an interest at: smackay@thornhillsch.net
Elected Governors are appointed for terms of four years, after which they will either stand down or seek re-election. The parents and guardians of children attending the school have the opportunity to elect the parent Governors when a vacancy occurs. Co-opted Governors are normally appointed for terms of four years and are chosen based on the skills they offer the Governing Body. The main duty of the Governors is to set the strategic direction of the School and to provide the overall governance. They are not responsible for the day-to-day management of the school.
Contacting the Governing Committee
We hope you will be very happy with everything at our school and would welcome positive feedback at any time. It is always good to know what you feel we are doing well. Equally, if you ever have a concern about an aspect of our school it is important that you let us know. Your first contact should always be with the Headteacher but, if required, you can contact the Governors.
If you wish to contact a member of the Governing Body this can be done via the school office or via the Clerk - smackay@thornhillsch.net
