Welcome to the Governors’ section of the Sholing Infant School website.

As Governors we work with the Head teacher and staff to ensure the best possible education for each and every child in the school. All children should feel happy and safe; this will enable them to reach their highest potential.

The Governing body has many legal responsibilities which include overseeing the budget, appointing staff, oversight of the curriculum, maintaining and developing the school premises and Safeguarding your children.

Governors are all members of the local community, who are unpaid, they  give hours  of  their time voluntarily to support the work of Sholing Infants. Governors are appointed for a four-year term of office, with the Chair and Vice- Chair elected yearly. The Full Governing Body and sub-committees meet at least every half –term. We also have a Governors day once a term, when all the Governors visit the school.
