Governors
On behalf of the Governors I welcome you to St Peter's C of E Primary School where 'Every Child of God Matters'.
Together the Governing Body have a range of knowledge, skills and experience to enable the school to run as effectively as possible and they aim to provide strategic leadership and school vision working alongside the Headteacher.
The Governing Body are also responsible for policy, budgeting, staffing and they act as critical friends, challenging key decisions and asking pertinent questions about performance data.
They contribute to the School Development Plan, monitor progress and evaluate the School’s effectiveness.
Governors at St Peter's visit the school, talk to children and staff, attend events and meet regularly. The FULL GOVERNING BODY meet once a term following two committee meetings; RESOURCES, which has responsibility for health and safety, buildings, staffing and finance and CURRICULUM, which ensures the curriculum meets statutory requirements and the needs of our children, contributes to the School Development Plan and monitors pupil progress.
The Governing Body uses The Local Authority Governor Services to clerk meetings and provides advice. They are contactable on 01254 220904

Welcome to our amazing school!
Our school lives out a profoundly Christian and inclusive vision. We genuinely believe that every child of God matters. We believe that our vision should transform our community. The relationship between school and church is something we value, and we hope you will, too.
I enjoy being part of worship both in school and in church. Our children contribute enormously. I am always touched as they pray for each other, their teachers, family, and the world. Our worship focuses on children being able to ask questions and explore their own faith. Our all-age worship is inclusive, focusing on well-being and enhancing school and family values.
Children take part in our school workshops held in church. It is a joy to watch and encourages us all.
We want children to grow and reach their full potential. We want to support them as they grow in confidence, explore faith, and explore their gifts. We want them to enjoy coming and being part of our church family.
We strongly believe In an inclusive Church where ALL are invited, and ALL are welcome, where children and families feel safe, loved, and cared for.
