About the Governors

The Bromley Heath Junior School governing body works closely with the senior leadership team to help make key decisions about how the school is run. This includes supporting and steering the school’s strategic direction, priorities and goals, as well as overseeing finances, staffing and policies. The governing body’s role isn’t to be involved with the day-to-day running of the school, rather to challenge the school and help secure positive outcomes for all the children at Bromley Heath.

Who are the school governors?

School governors come from many different backgrounds, and can be parents (parent governors), members of the local community (co-opted governors), local authority appointed (LA governors) or a member of the school’s staff (staff governor).

Parent Governors are elected by the parents and serve, as do all Governors, for four years. They bring the views of parents to the Governing Body, but they speak and act as individuals; they should not be thought of as delegates of the parents. They have equal status in the work of the Governing Body, with full voting rights.  The current Chair of Governors is Parent Governor, Donna Whinham – she can be contacted by emailing Donna.Whinham@bhjs.org.uk.
