GOVERNING BODY

Governors are actively involved in the life and work of the school and have many statutory duties.  They are responsible for setting the budget, curriculum, collective worship, buildings, staff and Headteacher appointments and many other aspects of school life.

There are various types of Governors.  Foundation Governors are appointed by the Diocese of Bradford from nominations from the Parochial Church Council of St. Mary's Church, Oxenhope.  There is also a Local Authority (LA) Governor nominated as representing the council members of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. 

Parent Governors are elected by a ballot system of all parents whose children attend Oxenhope C.E. Primary School.  The Headteacher is a staff governor by default - the other staff governor is elected by a ballot of all staff. 

We also have an associate governor who provides significant expertise on a range of issues.
