We currently have vacancies on our Governing Board.

If you would like to find out more about the role of Governor at Riverside School, please talk to Catherine or ask the Admin Office for further information. A letter with information about applying to be a Governor is going to all parents on 12th February and will be available on our website. 

As a parent governor or trustee, your role is:

• To bring a parental perspective to the issues discussed – you're not there to speak 'on behalf' of the parent body
• No different from other governors or trustees

Note: parents are elected to the board, not appointed (unless there are fewer candidates than vacancies).

The Riverside School Governing Body consists of up to 12 individuals who are committed to support the oversight of the school with the Head teacher. They meet regularly across the year to ensure that all areas of school life are understood, questioned and improved. Senior staff members regularly contribute to Governor Committee meetings. Governors help to ensure that our values of Achieve, Belong and Celebrate are upheld throughout every part of school life.

Governing Board meetings are often in the evenings. Some of our meetings are held on line and everyone has the option of joining virtually if needed. 

Resources Committee: Health and Safety, Finance, Child Protection, Attendance

Staffing and Pay: recruitment, pay, performance

Teaching and Learning: curriculum, EHCPs, quality of teaching
