Publication of Governor's Details and the Register of Interests
There are significant changes being made to the information about Governors published on a school website which schools will have to act on by September 2015.
New legislation
24. Governors hold an important public office and their identity should be known to their school and wider communities. Governing bodies should therefore publish on their website information about their members. The information they should publish should, as a minimum include for each governor:
- their name;
- their category of governor;
- which body appoints them;
- their term of office;
- the names of any committees the governor serves on; and
- Details of any positions of responsibility such as chair or vice-chair of the governing body or a committee of the governing body.
25. Governing bodies should also publish this information for associate members, making clear whether they have voting rights on any of the committees they serve on.
26. From 1 September 2015, governing bodies will be under a duty to publish on their website their register of interests. The register should set out the relevant business interests of governors and details of any other educational establishments they govern. The register should also set out any relationships between governors and members of the school staff including spouses, partners and relatives.
27. Governing bodies should make it clear in their code of conduct that this information will be published on their governors and, where applicable, their associate members. Any governor failing to reveal information to enable the governing body to fulfil their responsibilities may be in breach of the code of conduct and as a result be bringing the governing body into disrepute. In such cases the governing body should consider suspending the governor.

Governor Profiles
Mrs Sue Summers (Co-Opted) |

As a resident of Kellington for over 30 years I have an interest in the children of the area coming to this school and reaching their full potential in whatever that may be. Having had children and now grandchildren attending the school, I feel that we should all pull together in our various ways to support the school. I have a background in education as I was a primary teacher for 20 years and am now retired. |

Amy Beadnell - Staff Governor |

As a teacher at Kellington Primary School I have a vested interest in its day to day running and the safety and security of our pupils. I believe that effective communication between the school, parents, staff, governors and pupils is essential and that governors play a hugely important part in the school community. With my teaching experience and knowledge of the school I believe I can provide this link to support the school. I have experience in my teaching role and also contribute to the wider life of the school - providing trips and extra-curricular activities for our children to enjoy. Being a governor will give me a greater insight of the whole school and therefore improve my role as a middle leader and my teaching practice. |
