From the Falconhurst School
In October 2013, I joined the Falconhurst Board of Governors, and in September 2014, I was elected Chair of the Governing Body.
I left a senior position at The Open University at the end of 2012, but I thought that serving as a school governor would allow me to continue to contribute to education.
Eleven governors make up the Governing Body I chair, and they all volunteer their time to make Falconhurst the greatest school it can be.
the institution's mission and goals.
holding the principal responsible.
Falconhurst spends roughly 1.8 million annually, the majority of which is used for payroll.
Our responsibility is to ensure that every dollar is used wisely and that we receive value for our money.
Everything we do is governed by the law, for instance, we have employment obligations to the Falconhurst employees and additional duties to ensure the safety of all students at school.
These are significant responsibilities for volunteers, but we are dedicated to our work and make excellent use of the training programme that Milton Keynes Council offers for governors.
You can reach me by leaving a written note in the school office or sending me an email at [email protected] if you believe there is a problem we should be thinking about or if you want to learn more about the governors' process.
Of course, compared to what you do for your children as parents and carers, what we as governors can do is minuscule.
