Castle Park's governors are responsible for the management of the school legislation and policies of the Local Authority.

The Headteacher provides regular detailed reports for discussion with the Governors concerning a wide range of issues such as staffing, curriculum development and pupil matters.

The Governing Body is committed to the school’s mission statement, ‘Enjoyment in Learning’. Everyone at the school is on a learning journey. We want to equip every pupil with the learning skills and knowledge for life in the twenty-first century. Governors and staff constantly update their skills and knowledge for the benefit of the pupils in the school.

The achievements of all pupil groups are evaluated and reported to the governors.

Meetings of the Governing Body Meetings of the full governing body take place on six occasions per annum.

At appropriate meetings the governors receive and consider reports from the Finance sub-committee, Premises and Health and Safety sub-committee, Community sub-committee, and the Head Teacher reports on the school and its work.

In addition to these formal meetings, governors visit the school to enjoy concerts and sports/fundraising events.
