Bordon Junior School
"Bringing Learning to Life"
SCHOOL GOVERNORS
Bordon Junior School is an academy within the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust.
The governance within the University of Chichester Multi-Academy trust is undertaken by members, trustees (sometimes called Directors) and governors of individual academies. This structure provides strong corporate governance ensuring the best education for our pupils.
Our Governance Structure
LOCAL GOVERNORS
Trustees delegate significant governance functions to local governing bodies, as set out in the Scheme of Delegation. The Local Governing Body has a strong focus on core strategic functions:
1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
2. Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the academy and its pupils
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the academy and making sure its money is well spent
School governors play an important role in ensuring the smooth and effective running of the school. They provide a local perspective so that every child has the opportunity to be happy and successful.
It is a rewarding voluntary role which gives an insight in the workings of the school and an understanding of the education system more generally. There are many opportunities to develop skills in a range of areas and be involved in strategic decision-making. Full training and induction support is provided for all governors. If you are interested in supporting the school as a member of the local governing body please contact the Headteacher.
CHRIS JAMES
Head Teacher
I have been here at Bordon Junior School for 6 years. I believe our school is a place where every child can be happy and successful. Every child is unique and brings a range of interests and enthusiasm to our community of learners. It is the school’s responsibility to help each child in our care explore these interests and not only develop the knowledge and skills they need, but also grow as independent and motivated learners who can make the most of every opportunity.
