Governors (Members and Trustees)

The Governors at Hayes School are committed to supporting the school's vision of creating and maintaining a happy but rigorous learning environment where everyone tries to “be all you can be” in everything they do.

We will achieve this by having a robust governance framework and procedures to ensure the school is suitably supported and challenged to achieve the vision. Our Full Governing Body (FGB) is supported by Committees for Finance and Buildings (FB), Teaching, Learning and Standards (TLS) and Curriculum (CC). All our Governors attend all Committee meetings. The Board manages the business of the Trust and its focus is on the three core functions of governance:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding executive leaders to account for educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
Overseeing financial performance and making sure money is well spent.

The Annual General Meeting with Members will be held on 27th June 2023
