Governance

The Governors work closely with Mrs McCarthy (Executive Headteacher) and staff at Stanton Harcourt CE Primary School and form the Local Governing Board (LGB) for the school.  Stanton Harcourt CE Primary School is part of the Eynsham Partnership Academy Trust and the EPA scheme of delegation https://www.epa-mat.org/schemes-of-delegation/ sets out the roles, structure and responsibilities of the LGB.  

In conjunction with school leadership, the LGB are responsible for:-

  • setting the school’s strategic direction, vision and ethos,
  • ensuring compliance with statutory regulations,
  • holding the school’s leadership to account for the education of its pupils and management of its staff,and
  • being accountable for the school’s finances, including ensuring that its funding has the best possible impact on the children in the school.

Governors are assigned specific areas of responsibility within the school (please see schedule for details). Governors are also allocated curriculum areas, for which they liaise regularly with subject leads, visit to observe teaching and report back to the LGB. 

Governors are appointed by the EPA for their skills and experience in education and leadership, as well as from parents/carers and staff.

LGB meetings are held termly (please see schedule for details of attendance).
