Governors

The Governing Body have the overall responsibility for the management of the school. The Headteacher is responsible for the day to day running of the school and its general leadership.

The Governing Body meets every half term to hear reports on the progress being made in the school, to review reports from each of the committees and make any important decisions that are required.

Much of the key work of the Governing Body is achieved through its committees. Some of the main committees and their responsibilities are as follows.

Finance Committee:

The Finance Committee makes important decisions regarding the setting of the annual budget, based on the allocation received from Hampshire, making sure the school works within its financial means and appropriate aspects of school funding are appropriately budgeted for. The committee then monitors the use of the budget on a monthly basis, to ensure it keeps close track on planned and actual expenditure within the budget limits. In addition to this, the committee also makes decision regarding the use of capital funds for improvements to school facilities. All major financial decisions have to be ratified by the full Governing Body.

The committee also carries out benchmarking activities, to compare our school to similar schools and ensure good financial management.

Children’s Committee:

The Children’s Committee are responsible for monitoring the curriculum provision across the whole school, and for ensuring the school works hard to achieve high standards in progress and attainment. The committee will annually monitor the test data for the school, asking questions about the standards being achieved, as well as looking at future predictions. They discuss areas where the school is focussing time and energy for improvement, as part of the overall School Strategic Plan.

BCPS Governors

The Governing Body of Burnham Copse Primary School extend a warm welcome to you.

We believe in working together to build a future – we really believe that by working closely with you, we can give your child the best start in life. We are committed to encouraging our children to achieve the very best of their ability, and to enjoy the process whilst they do.

But academic achievement is only part of your child’s development. We also want to equip each child with the skills they need for life – easing the eventual transition to secondary school, and instilling a lifelong passion for learning. Opportunities are available in each year to enrich your child’s school experience through trips, sport and leisure activities as well as developing confidence to clearly articulate views and opinions.

We value our position within the community of Tadley and Baughurst, offering a venue for community activities. We have a thriving parent association raising additional funds for the school, and an excellent out of hours school club to help working parents.

Whilst our website can give you a flavour of what our school is like, nothing compares to seeing it for yourself, so please do contact us at any time to arrange a visit.

We hope that our children, and their parents, enjoy their time at Burnham Copse Primary, and leave with a sense of achievement, a balanced education and many happy memories.
