Governors
Barley Hill Primary School, in common with all maintained schools, is governed by a group of independent people appointed for a fixed term of office, usually four years. The Board comprises of a number of representatives, including elected parent governors, the local authority and the community. The Governing Body focuses on the long-term development and improvement of the school in continuing to ensure that the high standards of learning, achievement and behaviour we have at Barley Hill are maintained and developed. Meetings relating to school finances, the curriculum, the school grounds, staffing and childcare are held with the common purpose of ensuring that the children at Barley Hill Primary School receive the best possible education and make excellent progress!
By working closely with school staff, the Governors play an important role in ensuring that firm foundations are laid for your child's education and that your child has a happy, secure and successful time whilst at primary school.
A message from our Chair of Governors
Dear Parents and Carers
On behalf of the school governors, I warmly invite you to our school. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and nurturing school environment, with children being taught through the 'Barley Hill Way', enabling all children to build on their learning journey and thrive in all aspects of their development.
Our governing body works closely with Mrs Gemma Penny, senior leaders and subject leads to shape our school, ensuring we keep the interests of all pupils at the centre of what we do and that we are educating the whole child.
To find out more about what the role involves, there is useful information on the following website https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/our-work-schools/school-governors/governors.
There may be opportunities for parents and carers to become parent governors through the election process and for members of the community to be appointed to co-opted roles. If you feel that this role is for you, then please get in touch with myself KSGovernor@barley-hill.oxon.sch.uk or Mrs Gemma Penny.
I encourage you to explore our website and understand our school community and how we are at the heart of this wonderful community in Thame.
With best wishes
Kayleigh
