The Governing Body & Financial Information

The Governing Body

The Governing Body at De Bohun works with the school to ensure that all of the pupils at De Bohun enjoy learning and achieve their full potential.

We do this by:

  • Monitoring how well the children are doing in the school
  • Working with the staff to make sure that the teaching is as good as it can be and that all of the children are properly cared for
  • Holding the school’s Leadership Team to account for using the school buildings and our other resources to provide the best learning environment for the children

Please click 2023-24 Workplan to see what we are doing this academic year.

The Governing Body is made up of people representing all of the groups involved in our school: parents, staff, the Local Authority, and the Community.  The full Governing Body meets at least once a term as a whole.  We also have sub-committees (Teaching and Learning and Resources) of the Governing Body which meet once a term to look more closely at pupil progress, teaching and learning, the school buildings, and the school’s budget.

We are fortunate to have a Governing Body with a wide variety of skills and interests.
