Governance

Each school within ELAN has a local governing body (LGB). The Governing Body of Banwell Primary School is a group of people drawn from our community who volunteer our time, energy and expertise to support the management of the school and oversee the performance of the senior leadership team (SLT). We are collectively accountable to all school stakeholders – pupils, parents, staff, the local authority and Ofsted. The LGB is responsible for:

  • setting the school's vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
  • overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

We welcome your feedback and ideas about the school so please don't hesitate to approach us at school or drop a letter into the office addressed to the Chair of the Governors or email the Chair of Governors directly.

Information about the governors

The Department for Education (DfE) requires schools to publish some specific information about all those who have served on its Governing Body over the previous school year.  The meeting attendance percentages do not represent total governor activity: most governors also undertake a great deal of other work for our school, which is not reflected in these statutory figures.
