Governors

We are pleased to welcome you to our school website and hope that you will find the information here both helpful and interesting.

The Governing body of Oldbrook School are committed to working in partnership with the Head Teacher and other school staff to promote high standards of educational achievement and pastoral care.

The governing body includes representatives from parents and staff, nominees from Milton Keynes Council and some members who have been co-opted. All governors, apart from the Headteacher, serve a four year term of office.

Instrument of Governance Oldbrook First School

The governing body's clerk is provided by the Learning and Development Directorate. The Chair of Governors is Mrs Janet Haines, who may be contacted through the school.

School governors operate as a corporate body and work in close association with the Headteacher for the benefit of the school. Individual governors bring their own areas of expertise. They give their time freely to the school, attend training sessions, appoint staff, visit the school often and are available to support and help when needed. All their work for the school is voluntary and unpaid.  The board is made up of three committees; Finance and Personnel, Premises, School Improvement and Curriculum.  These are chaired by Mrs Janet Haines (Chair of Governors).
