Welcome from the Governors of Lee-on-the-Solent Junior School

The governors work with the Headteacher to ensure there is strategic leadership, robust accountability and good oversight of the school’s educational and financial performance.

Governors visit the school regularly, examine progress and attainment data, review the school budget and make sure the school is working towards its current objectives in the School Improvement Plan (SIP). 

The full governing body (FGB) meet at least twice per term. Responsibility for specific areas is delegated to committees or individual governors as detailed above. Governor committees include Headteacher Performance Management, Pay Committee, Resources Committee and Curriculum Committee.

All of the members of the Governing Body can be contacted via the School Office.

Governors are appointed, elected or co-opted onto the Governing Body for a term of four years to represent the views of parents, staff, the local community and the Local Education Authority. We aim to have a broad range of expertise, skills, and experience among the governing body, so that together we can support and challenge the school.  Governors attend training to up to date with current legislation around governance. 

The role of the governors is strictly strategic, and the day-to-day management of the school is entrusted to the Headteacher and the school’s Senior Leadership Team. However, the governors are keen to be involved in the life of the school and are often in attendance at school events.
