The WIX board is Chaired by Rachel Delhaise and Vice-Chair: Sally Onions.
The board strives to operate at a strategic level, leaving the head teacher and senior school leaders responsible and accountable to it for the operational day-to-day running of the school.
We focus strongly on three core functions:
The WIX board meets once per term and sub-committees also meet once per term. Much of the work of the WIX Governing Body is delegated to the three sub-committees: Pupil Welfare, Curriculum, Finance and Staffing.
The objectives of the Pupil Welfare Committee are:
The objectives of the Curriculum Committee are:
The objectives of the Finance and Staffing Committee are:
In addition the following committees have been established to oversee and support the management of the WIX bilingual stream and report to both the board of governors of WIX Primary School and the Lycée Français Council:
Governors are also expected to visit the school at least once per year for about half a day which we ask you to link to a specific class.
If elected or appointed Governor, you are in the position for a 4 year term however you may resign earlier if your circumstances require it.
Governors are given very good support from Wandsworth Education Dept which offer excellent governor training services. We would expect you to attend at least one training session per year (2-4 hours).
