Co-Chairs of Governors: Mrs Gillian Leonard and Mrs Sarah Rickayzen
Welcome to our Governors’ section.
The DfE states that the governing board has three roles:
Here are a few reasons why you might consider becoming a school Governor at Eastbury Farm
The Governing Board have established a set of behaviour principles in order to guide the headteacher in determining measures to promote good behaviour and discipline amongst our pupils.
Our Behaviour Principles
Our behaviour principles reflect our school values which are summarised through our mission statement ‘Nurturing and Developing our Children for the Future’. Our vision that ‘children leave Eastbury Farm having been inspired to become confident successful learners, ready to explore their future as resilient and responsible individuals’ underpins these principles.
Eastbury Farm embraces the diversity of our community and we believe that everyone should be free from discrimination, harassment, victimisation of any sort. Equity is when everyone gets what they need to achieve
Everyone has the right to feel safe all of the time.
Bullying or harassment of any description is unacceptable even if it occurs outside normal school hours.
Every pupil should be educated in an environment where they feel valued, listened to and respected.
Children should be encouraged to be accountable for their actions and the potential impact on themselves and others.
Consequences should enable a pupil to reflect on, and learn from a situation and to make reparation wherever possible.
Children should be supported to build self-discipline, empathy and emotional resilience through the development of strong self-regulation systems.
Adults in school should model, maintain, encourage and promote positive behaviour.
High expectations for positive behaviours and attitudes towards learning provide the foundations for our children to become responsible and resilient.
The school should work in partnership with parents/carers to develop and promote pro-social behaviours - and seek advice from appropriate outside agencies wherever necessary.
Suspension from school is a last resort. Any suspension should be issued in accordance with guidance from the Local Authority.
