Governors
The Governors work with the Headteacher and other staff to set a strategic direction for the school, ensure accountability and act as a critical friend to the school.
Mr Kerse, who sits on the Governing Body, makes the day to day decisions about the running of the school. It is the Governors however who are responsible for agreeing the budget, for overseeing the curriculum taught and in setting annual targets for both the school's performance and the Headteacher.
The Governors also deal with formal complaints, personnel, buildings, policies and some disciplinary matters, all of which is done on a voluntary basis.

Governors Written Statement of Behaviour Principles
The governors have created a statement of principles, not practice.
Practical applications of these principles are the responsibility of the Headteacher.
The statement has been adopted by the Governing Body as a whole and is informed by Lime Walk Primary School’s vision to work in partnership to provide an inclusive, safe and stimulating environment which inspires a creative, confident community of lifelong learners.
