Governance
A warm welcome from the Governing Body of Fulbourn Primary School
For those not familiar with our role in school, we have provided a brief introduction below.
You may also find out more about the governing body by clicking on the links.
The governing body has three key roles:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- Holding the head teachers to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
