Governing Body
Welcome to our Governing Body. Lime Tree Primary School is part of the Surbiton Education Health Trust.
The core purpose of the Governing Body is to ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction: hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; oversee the financial performance of the school making sure its money is well spent.
The Governing Body is also accountable to parents and the wider community for the performance of the school and for raising its standards.
The school can have 11 governors: 2 Parent; 1 Local Authority; 1 Staff; 1 Headteacher; and 6 Foundation.
The Full Governing Body meets four times a year. There are also two sub-committees - Quality of Education and Finance & Resources - which meet at least three times a year and report in to the main meetings.
