Governance
A welcome from your Governors
Welcome to the Governors' pages of Seton Community Primary School's website.
My name is Victoria Smith and I am the current Chair of the Governing Body of The Rise Federation, which consists of Seton Community Primary School and Ruswarp Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School.
Working with the Head Teacher and staff at both schools, all governors have a legal responsibility to ensure the effective management of the school.
Governors help to decide school policy and share responsibility for the management of the school. They advise, support and challenge the headteacher and staff, working with the school to meet the needs of the children, whilst ensuring that the schools provide good value for money. Governors help the headteacher in the selection of staff and act as a link between the schools and their communities.
If you would like to contact a governor, this can be done through the school office. Letters marked for the attention of a governor will be passed on in confidence.
Further information about the Governing Body can be found via the links below.
