GOVERNING BODY
Silverdale, like all schools, has a Governing Body.
We meet six times a year: three of those meeting are focused on our regular business, and our other three are focused on learning in detail about various aspects of school life.
The minutes of our meetings are public documents and are available on request via the school office.
GOVERNORS' MISSION STATEMENT
Silverdale is an Outstanding School with a culture of partnering for success. We believe that every pupil should be enabled to reach their potential and be equipped to achieve the future they deserve.

STRUCTURE OF THE GOVERNING BODY
As well as the main meetings of Govering Body, we have sub-committees who meet regularly.
Finance, Staffing and Health & Safety
Sets and monitors the budget, reviews staffing arrangements and issues, monitors Health & Safety
Curriculum, Communications and Admissions

In addition, the Governors meet as needed to discuss performance management, pupil or staff discipline issues, complaints and appeals.
WHAT THE GOVERNORS DO
The Governors have three main roles.
We are the key strategic decision making body for the school and help to set the long term strategic vision and ethos. We also decide the priorities that will help us achieve that vision
We hold the Headteacher and senior leaders to account. We expect that they will promote excellent educational standards in school, and find ways to improve the performance of the school year on year.
We are responsible for the financial performance of the school and for making sure that the money entrusted to us is well-spent in the best interests of the students.
