Governing Body

The Governing Body of Oaks Park High School role is to be responsible for setting the ethos and vision of the strategic direction of the school, as well as to ensure that there is due regard of process in the school’s daily actions. Between them, Governors bring a wide variety of expertise from their professional lives. They provide an immense service in directing the school strategically to make sure the educational performance of the students is strong and that the budget is used properly and effectively.

The Governors and Headteacher now have greatly increased responsibilities and powers. Complaints, in the first instance, should be referred to the Headteacher. Matters which remain unresolved will then be referred to the Chair of Governors.
