Governors' Welcome

On behalf of the governors of St John’s, we would like to offer you a very warm welcome to our school.  On these pages of the school website, you can find out more information about the school’s governors and the work that we do.

The purpose of the Board of Governors is to ensure the quality of education provision and to be responsible for the good conduct and high standards of educational achievement in the school. The Board is responsible for setting the strategic development of the school and for monitoring and challenging the progress of the School Leadership Team in achieving its priorities.

Members of the Board give their time and expertise freely to the school. The Full Governing Board (FGB) meets once per term (twice in the Autumn) and is supported by sub-committees, which meet at least once each term.

In addition, working parties may be set up for different purposes, including adjudicating on complaints. The governors also attend individual training courses organised by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and the local authority in order to ensure that they are fully abreast of developments and regulations affecting the governance within the education sector.

The governors, of course, work closely with the Headteacher and Head of School.  At the heart of everything we do is the determination to provide St John’s pupils with the best educational experience and to further the personal development of each and every child in a friendly, safe and caring environment.

St John’s is a wonderful place and all of us who serve the school as governors are immensely proud of the fantastic achievements of those attending and working at the school.

Please do come along to one of our parent drop-ins (advertised in the school newsletter) or drop us an email on governors@stjohnsn20.barnetmail.net if you have any questions for us.

We wish your child every success and happiness at St John’s.

Ian Copelin & Richard Hughes

Co-Chairs of Governors
