Our Governing Body

Welcome to Greenvale School

On behalf of the governors, welcome to Greenvale School.

With more than 200 students learning across two sites, Greenvale continues to grow as a thriving community where everyone can flourish. Our modern facilities, including engaging playgrounds, sensory rooms and a hydrotherapy pool, create inspiring spaces that support learning, wellbeing, and personal growth.

A real strength of Greenvale is its community. Parents, staff, students and local supporters all play an important part in our success. We value parent involvement highly and encourage you to explore the dedicated parents’ section of this site for opportunities to attend events, connect with other families, and share your views.

We are proud to have been judged Outstanding by Ofsted. This reflects the commitment of our Headteacher and staff, who continually look for ways to improve Greenvale while putting our students’ needs at the heart of their work.

The governors look forward to working hand in hand with Greenvale’s incredible students and staff as the school continues to grow and meet new challenges.

Governance at Greenvale

While the Headteacher manages the day-to-day running of the school, the governing body provides strategic oversight and accountability.

Our key responsibilities:

• Shaping and reviewing the school’s aims, policies and plans
• Developing and monitoring the School Improvement Plan
• Ensuring the National Curriculum is delivered
• Overseeing finances, staffing and premises

Who we are:

• 4 elected parent governors
• The Headteacher and 1 elected staff member
• 1 local authority appointee
• 7 community members
• 2 staff advisers

How we work:

• The Full Governing Body meets twice in the autumn term and once each in the spring and summer terms. It is supported by two committees that meet regularly for deeper discussions:

• • Finance & Resources
  • Education & Student Services

• Governors meetings are often outside of school hours, so we also visit regularly during the school day to have the best understanding of Greenvale in action.

Together, we provide support, challenge and accountability — always keeping students at the centre of our decisions.
