Governance
The governing body of Stoneraise School came into effect on 1/2/2015. It consists of 12 governors: 4 Parent, 5 Co-opted, 1 Local Authority, 1 Staff and 1 Head Teacher. Our Instrument of Government can be found by clicking here.
The governing body provides support and gives challenge to the School Leadership Team (SLT). They help make strategic decisions for the school for the benefit of all stakeholders.
​
Periodically, the governors meet as smaller sub-committees to explore areas of school decision making in more detail. Following these meetings, reports are presented back to the full governing body for ratification. The Scheme of Delegation can be downloaded by clicking here.
​
Our sub-committees are as follows (click on the committee name to download the relevant Terms of Reference document:
