  1. Governors

Joy Lowes – Co-opted Governor

I have lived in Dalton for 30 years and my children attended Chapel Street Infants and George Romney Junior Schools. I am a governor at Chapel Street and after being a governor at George Romney for a number of years, I was elected chair in 2006.

The role of chair has developed over the years to become more involved and challenging. This gives me greater opportunity to work with Mr. Reddy, the staff and most importantly, getting to know the children and the wider community.

As a governing body I would like to think that not only do we have a responsibility for the effectiveness of the school but we also have a passion for the children to succeed and achieve their full potential.
 

Mr. C. Peniston – Associate Member
 

I am the proprietor of a well-recognised and highly recommended Double Glazing and Conservatory business based in Dalton.

I have long been associated with George Romney now for a number of years, becoming a Parent Governor in 2001 when the first of my own two children attended the school. Although my children are now in their early twenties, I have continued to serve as a Governor, more recently as a Local Authority Governor and now, with the recent reconstitution of governing bodies, I have decided to become an Associated Governor.

Although my own business occupies the majority of my time, I value my links with the school and consider that I still have a lot to offer as a member of the Resources Committee and I enjoy the challenges and rewards of the role.

The remit of the governing body

It is stated in the Governance Handbook that all boards, no matter what type of schools or how many schools they govern, have three core functions:
ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the performance management of staff; overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

The constitution of our governing body is as follows:
            3 Parent governors
            1 Local Authority governor
            1 Headteacher
            3 Co-opted governors
            1 Staff governor.
