Langtons Infant School

Our Governing Body is made up of 12 members

• Headteacher (1)

• Parent Governors (3) – elected by parents 

• Staff Governors (1) – elected by staff

• Co-Opted Governors (4) – appointed by the Governing Body

• Associate Members (1) - Associate members without voting rights

   

The Role of the Governing Body is to hold the Headteacher and the management team to account for the academic progress of pupils and the financial running of the school.  They are part of the Leadership Team and they help to set the strategic direction and monitor the school.

You will see from the biographies of Governors they come from all walks of life and all make a significant input into the school community and the decision making.  Governors attend half termly meetings, they consider reports and can join committees that oversee the Quality of Teaching, the school facilities and the school budget.  If you would like more information about becoming a Governor and making a real difference please call the school office.

Jason Crispin - Co-opted Governor

I was a Parent Governor for 5 years and am now the Chair of Governors and also part of the Finance Committee. Having many years of experience in technology, I have played an active role in computing with the school, helping purchase the latest technology to enable children’s development through assisted learning. I have played a role in the improvement of the site facilities making sure the children have a safe and pleasant environment. I enjoy being a Governor, working with others who share the same passion in striving to assist in children’s learning. You feel a real sense of achievement when you see positive impact of decisions made.

Alison Tansley - Chair of Governors

I joined the Governing Body as a co-opted Governor in November 2016; I am also the Link Governor for disadvantaged children.  I am a mother of 3 and grandparent of 2. One of my children attends Langtons Junior Academy and my daughter attends the Infant school. I also work in the Construction Industry as an office manager for a building company.  I have experience of disadvantaged children and their experiences and needs and I am continually updating my knowledge in this area.  I am very passionate about our children receiving the best education; the early years are the foundation upon which we build our lives. It is so important to give our children what they need to build strong foundations and help them achieve the best they can. I am particularly motivated to ensure that disadvantaged children can access the same opportunities and experiences as their peers.
