Hamilton Primary School - Our Governors

Our Governing Body

The Governing Body of the school is split in to 3 committees. These are: Personnel, Curriculum and Pupil Related Matters and Finance and Premises. The role of a governor is to contribute to the work of the governing body in ensuring high standards of achievement for all children and young people in the school by:

Setting the school's vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
