East Sussex,
On behalf of the Governing Body, we are delighted to welcome you to Hove Park
School – a true community school where ‘together we achieve’. The Governors at
Hove Park are a group of committed and passionate volunteers that support and
challenge the school to ensure all students can achieve the best possible
educational outcomes. Our Governing Body encompasses a variety of skills,
backgrounds and experiences, together with a diversity of view, in order to
carry out our key responsibilities. Our role is to be the strategic leaders of
the school and we have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the
best possible education within a safe, stimulating and highly positive
environment. To ensure effective governance we focus on three core strategic
functions: Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction. Holding
the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and
it’s students , and the effective and efficient performance management of the
staff. Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its
money is well spent. You can read more about how governors work to lead schools
effectively on the National Governance Association’s website. At Hove Park, we
recognise the key role that the whole community, particularly parents and
carers, play in developing a successful school where students learn and develop
to their full potential. We work collaboratively with the local authority, as
well as our partner secondary and primary schools and their governors across
Brighton & Hove.
