Governors
Lakenham Primary School has an experienced and committed Governing Body. They monitor the performance of the school, providing support to ensure that every child receives a quality education. They work in partnership with the Headteacher, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school.
All Lakenham Primary School Governors are volunteers and include:
- Parents elected by other parents at the school
- A teacher elected by their colleagues
- A staff member elected by their colleagues
- Members of the local community (co-op governors)
- Representatives appointed by the co-operative trust.
The full Governing Body meets at least once every half term. Every Governor is also a member of one of our committees; Curriculum, Resources and Environment. These committees meet regularly to develop school policies, oversee budgets, evaluate progress and agree targets. Governors visit the school regularly and also attend training and school events.
