Who are the School Committee?

The School Committee is made up of representatives from parents, staff, the Local Authority and the local community.

The full School Committee meet each half-term. Regulations define the three keys roles of the School Committee as:

• setting the strategic direction
• securing accountability
• monitoring, evaluating, supporting and challenging

The School Committee's over-riding aim is to improve the quality of education and standards of achievement at St John's Primary School. We are involved with development planning; policy making; setting the school budget; monitoring and evaluating performance; setting realistic but challenging targets for pupil performance and ensuring accountability.
