Welcome to the Governor’s pages for the Exe Valley Federation
My name is Jackie Enright, and I am the current Chair of Governors.
The Exe Valley Federation Board of Governors represents seven schools, Brampford Speke, Cheriton Fitzpaine, Newton St Cyres, Sandford, Silverton, Thorverton, and Whimple.
We meet as a whole board three times a year. To enable governors to maintain strong links with staff and children, we have set up two local hub home school teams meeting termly alternating with the full governing board meetings:
The East Hub - Brampford Speke, Silverton, Thorverton and Whimple.
The West Hub - Cheriton Fitzpaine, Newton St Cyres and Sandford.
Our Federation Development Plan [FDP] is written and linked to our 5-year Strategic Development Plan. Each school has their own school development plan, which governors’ monitor termly at their Hub meetings.
Our Governing Boards core functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the federation and its pupils and the performance management of staff.
- Overseeing the financial performance of the federation and making sure its money is well spent.
Our Governing Board is made up of 15 governors –
One Executive Headteacher
Two Parent Governors
One Staff Governor
One Local Authority Governor
Three Foundation Governors, one of which is the Ex-Officio
Seven Co-opted Governors
