Welcome
Hall Green Junior School is a local authority maintained school. This means we follow the policies and practices as laid down by Birmingham Local Authority.
The role of the Governing Board is:
setting the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school
holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school
overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure the money is well spent
ensuring the school fully complies with statutory safeguarding procedures
ensuring the Governing Board to efficient and effective in its role.
The Governor Board role is 'eyes on, hands off.' This means the Governing Board is strategic and does not get involved in the day to day management of the school.
To fulfil this role, Governors hold a full Governing Board Meeting at least once a term, as well as visiting School during the day once a term. There are other committees that also meet during the term - Finance and Staffing committees. Meetings are professionally clerked. Committee membership and the committee structure is reviewed at the beginning of each academic year.

Ms M Charles (Headteacher)
Mrs L Constable (Staff elected rep)
