Pensby Primary School Governors

Our school continues to go from strength to strength and we are very proud of the progress our children are making and the obvious enjoyment they are getting from all that the school provides. Standards are continuing to rise through the school’s well structured, engaging and exciting curriculum.

We are a keen and hard-working group of governors. We meet as a full Governing Body at least once a term. In addition to this we have several smaller committees that meet at least termly and look very closely at the different areas of school life. The committees are Personnel and Finance, Pastoral and Safeguarding, Curriculum and SEN, Buildings Health & Safety, Self Evaluation and Development (SED) and Pensby/Stanley joint committee.

Our Governing Body members are very active in the school, particularly in supporting the monitoring of teaching and learning. When they attend school events or carry out their work within the school, they sign in so that their attendance is monitored.

Governors are linked to subjects and areas of the school so that they know all aspects of the school can and are monitored regularly. As the governors are so proractive and involved in school life, they know it well and are able to speak from direct experience and with understanding.
