The core functions of the Governing Body include, but are not limited to, ensuring:
- that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
- that the headteacher performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the school.
- the sound, proper and effective use of the school's financial resources
As a Voluntary Aided school, our Governing Body is currently made up of foundation governors, parent governors, LA governors and two staff governors, including the headteacher. Governors serve a four-year term.
The Governing Body of Brimscombe C of E VA Primary School was reconstituted in April 2015.
The Governors work across two committees: Education, Standards and Ethos and Facilities and Finance. Each committee monitors, supports and challenges the headteacher in each area, creating reports which are shared at a full Governors' meeting. Each committee meets six times a year and there are six full Governing body meetings a year.

Heavenly Father, bless our work as governors.
Grant us wisdom, understanding and unity as we make decisions for this school.
Guide us to serve the pupils, staff and parents with dedication,
striving to create a happy, thriving and Christ-centred environment,
where all can learn and grow. Amen.
