--- title: "Governors" url: "https://st-nicholas-primary.org.uk/key-information/governors" school: "St Nicholas C of E Primary School" --- # Governors ## Welcome to the School Governors of St Nicholas ### What do we do? Governing bodies act as a corporate body, taking a strategic role in supporting the leadership and development of the school. ### How does the Governing Body do this? The Governing Body meets at least twice every term to discuss the school’s development priorities with focus on *‘Curriculum and Standards’* and *‘Finance and Resources’*. The Governing Body adopted the circle model meaning all governors participate in discussing all aspects of school life, except where pay and the Head Teacher performance management is involved. The strategic development of the school is proposed in an annual document, building on strengths and assigning resources to develop areas of greater challenge within the school. Individual governors are linked to areas of school responsibility/curriculum and work with the school Leadership Team to monitor and review the progress of these aims. Governors are also responsible for overseeing the annual budget submission to support the Headteacher in management of public funds. All minuted meetings of the Governing Body are available on request from the school office. ### St Nicholas C of E Primary School – Register of Governors (2025/26) Business or pecuniary interests declared and attendance. | **Name** | **Category of Governor** | **Attendance level at meetings for 2024-25:** | **Business or Pecuniary interests declared** | **Details of any other Governing Body membership declared** | |---|---|---|---|---| | **Revd Eira Hale Chair of Governors** First appointed 06/03/2024 Ex officio | Foundation | 5 out of 7 | None | None | | **Laura Pillow** First appointed: 11/05/2024 Term of office ends: 10/05/2028 | Staff | 3 out of 7 | TBC | TBC | | **Scott Powell Vice Chair of Governors** First appointed: 21/5/2025 Term of office ends: 20/2/2029 | Parent | N/A | TBC | TBC | | **Aimee Poote** First appointed: 24/11/2023 Term of office ends: 23/11/2027 | Parent | 7 out of 7 | None | None | | **Amy Mitro** First appointed: 01/01/2025 Term of office ends: N/A Ex-officio | Ex-officio Head Teacher | 4 out of 4 | None | None | | **Dr Michael Sleath** First appointed: 21/5/2025 Term of office ends: 20/2/2029 | Parent | N/A | None | None | | **Kate Whiston** First appointed: 4/7/2023 Term of office ends: 3/7/2027 | Co-opted | 7 out of 7 | None | None | Governors who have left the Governing Board in the last 12 months: **Rosemary Dalby -** 16/09/25 - 31/08/2026 **Yann Avogniko -** 10/03/2024 – 08/10/2025.
