The Bourne Partnership Governing Board welcomes applications for membership from all those who will support us in our objectives and will contribute to the strength and success of our school community, regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, social standing, educational background, physical disability, religion, faith or sexual orientation. The Board recognises, and takes into account in the selection of appointees to office within the Board, the benefits of diversity, alongside appropriate skills and experience.

Meet the Governing Body
 

On 2^nd September 2019 the Governing Board of the Bourne Partnership was inaugurated to lead Hadlow Primary School and Shipbourne School in a mutually supportive federation.  The Board holds the vision for both schools in mind at all times to ensure strategic leadership while holding the senior leaders to account for pupil wellbeing, attainment, progress, as well as prudent financial management.  We are committed to maintaining the right skills and experience on the board to provide robust, efficient and compliant governance.

The Governing Board works voluntarily on behalf of the federation and meets at least once per school term. The Governing Body has many different responsibilities, but primarily it must promote high standards of academic achievement and help ensure that the school is a safe and happy place for its pupils.

It helps to do this in many different ways, including setting school budgets, ensuring the National Curriculum is taught to all pupils, setting targets for achievement, monitoring information about the quality of teaching in the school and comparing results with other schools and dealing with parental complaints and concerns and making regular monitoring visits.

It also takes a long-term, strategic look at how the school should develop, and always welcomes the opinions of and representations from, parents, staff, pupils and the local community.

Governors normally serve a four year term.  If you are interested in joining the governing board, please contact the Co Chairs of Governors, Jenny Maydon or Andrew Tittershill at chair@bournepartnership.org or fill in the enquiry form below.
