Our Governing Board plays an active part in the life of our school. Governors are responsible for running the school and ensuring it is constantly developing to meet the very highest of standards for our children’s learning.
As a Governing Board we operate to 3 key principles:
1. Strategic vision, leadership, ethos and values - Work with the school, children, parents and local community to identify a strategic plan.
2. Holding the Head Teacher to account and performance management - Providing challenge and also providing support to the school and the leadership team.
3. Ensuring financial value - Working with the school to create a spending plan to support the school's main objectives, ensuring money is well spent and providing benefit to the children.

The Governors of Clitheroe Pendle Primary School believe it is important that Governing Boards reflect the diversity of the school communities they serve. Diverse Boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for staff and young people.
The Governors are currently collecting data on the diversity of the board, including data on age, gender, and ethnicity. They will use that data to inform their recruitment and training needs and ensure there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making. At the present time, we do not publish this diversity data online, as individual Governors could be identified, and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
