Under new Government legislation all school Governing Bodies were reconstituted before September 2015. Under this new legislation, the Governing Body must have the appropriate skills to fulfil its role effectively. It should not be smaller than 7 members and must include: At least 2 Parent Governors; the Headteacher; one and only one Staff Governor; one and only one Local Authority Governor. On top of the above 5 ‘Core Governors’ a school can appoint as many additional co-opted Governors as deemed necessary. The James Oglethorpe Primary School’s Governing Body decided to reconstitute to 12 members and 1 associate. Our current Governing Body is:
