Our Governors

This school has a Local Governing Body (LGB) which is responsible for making day-to-day decisions on the running of the school.  Its power is delegated from Trustees of the main multi-academy trust board.

The Governing Body has a range of duties and powers and a general responsibility for the conduct of the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.

Its responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • setting targets for pupil achievement
  • managing the school’s finances
  • making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based
  • appointing staff
  • reviewing staff performance and pay

The LGB consists of members of the local community interested in education and no formal qualifications are required as full training is given.  The Headteacher is automatically a member of the LGB by nature of their position, but cannot Chair.  Parents are welcome to join the LGB and when there are vacancies, we particularly welcome applicants with skills in managing budgets, legal work, human resources, running a business, or any work connected with young people.

Any Governor vacancies will be advertised here.

The Chair of Governors, John Tweedlie, can be contacted via the school, by post to Staynor Hall Community Primary Academy, Staynor Link, Selby, YO8 8GE or by email: j.tweedlie@ebor.academy

Ebor Academy Trust is a charitable organisation that relies on the valuable input of a considerable number of non-executive volunteers, supported by an experienced team of staff.  To find out more information, click on the link below:
