Our Local Governors
Our Local Governing Committee have oversight for both Merriott Primary School and Haselbury Plucknett Church of England Primary School as a Federation.
Whilst maintaining the ethos and distinctiveness of each school, the Federation allows the efficient sharing of expertise and systems to improve outcomes for all pupils across both schools.
These include:
- Giving our children greater opportunities to learn together with other Primary School pupils from a neighbouring village.
- Teachers being able to collaborate closely to share good practice and expertise with the purpose of improving teaching further in both schools.
- Sharing of staff development and training opportunities in order that the schools continue forwards on their improvement journeys.
- Sharing resources so that budgets can go further and can be focused on pupil learning.
The Schools Local Governing Body is made up of the following representatives:
- Two Parent Governors
- One Headteacher
- One Staff Governor
- Five Local Governors
- One Foundation Governor
The Governors meet at least six times a year.
The Chair of our Local Governing Committee is: Mr. Craig Pearce.
