Our Governance
Newhall Primary Academy and Nursery has a Local Governing Body which was formed in March 2019.
Governors at Newhall aim to ensure that our children experience a secure, safe and stimulating environment providing the full breadth of the National Curriculum where all are excited about learning and all learning activities encourage positive models of enquiry, reflection, innovation and challenge.
We want every child to achieve their potential in all aspects of learning and physical, social, emotional, moral and spiritual development. Our focus is thus to support and challenge the school’s leadership and staff to ensure that together we are all doing everything we can to equip our children in becoming confident, independent, creative thinkers and learners for life. We aim to ensure that our pupils are provided with opportunities to develop the resilience they will need to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.
We recognise and value the diversity of our Newhall school community and the uniqueness of each of its members. We ensure excellence in teaching and learning through teamwork, support, collaboration and effective leadership. We promote our school values and British values within the school and the wider community. Representing a growing community, governors actively encourage community engagement wherever possible. We achieve the best we can for our children by using the strength of partnership – working with the staff, our children’s parents and the wider community.
Our Local Governing Body at Newhall consists of a strong team of individuals who offer constructive challenge and support whilst overseeing the strategic direction and management of our school. Our governors are always keen to provide assistance, to give of their time and experience in supporting our school and helping to shape the school ethos and the stimulating learning environment it is today.
