Governance
The definition of a parent governor, is a person who is elected as a member of the Governing Board of the school, by parents of registered pupils at the school and who is a parent at the time of their election. Governors come from all walks of life and bring a rich variety of skills and experience to schools. What Governors at Green Dragon Primary School have in common, is a passion for education and a commitment to furthering the life chances of all of the young people we serve.
The Headteacher of the school is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school. The role of the full Governing Body is to provide strategic management, and to act as a "critical friend", supporting the work of the headteacher and other staff.
Mrs Maria Kosanovic, our Chair of Governors, is in school regularly and is happy to meet parents who are interested in finding out about the Governing Body. Please contact the office, leaving a contact number & a summary letter of what you would like to know more about, Mrs Maria Kosanovic will arrange a convenient time for you to have a telephone conversation, to meet OR email your query: admin@greendragon.hounslow.sch.uk
Governors must appoint the Headteacher and may be involved in the appointment of other staff.
Governors also have a role in monitoring the school's progress, and in setting annual targets for the school's performance and for the headteacher (and ensuring that the headteacher sets targets for other staff).
Governors must review school exclusions in certain circumstances, and have the power to reinstate an excluded pupil or reduce the term of the exclusion (although not to increase it).
Voluntary Aided schools and Academies act as their own admissions authorities. In such schools, the governing body sets the admissions policy, makes admissions decisions and defends admissions appeals.
