Newcomen Primary School

School Governors

The aim of our Governing Board

The primary purpose of our Governing Board is to ensure the quality of education provision and to act as the accountable body for the school.

The role of a governing board is to:

  • set the strategic direction, vision and ethos of the school;
  • monitor and challenge the progress of the school in achieving its priorities;
  • recruit and performance manage the Headteacher;
  • exercise employer responsibility;
  • ensure the school meets its statutory responsibilities
  • ensure financial probity;
  • ensure the premises are well managed; and
  • report to the schools stakeholders.
We fully embrace the role as strategic leaders to the school and we understand that we have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education.

The Governing Board of Newcomen Primary School has a strong focus on three core strategic functions:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

Chair of Governing Board: Mr Mark Hassack
