Governor Introduction
Whilst we have Trustees for Attain Academy Trust who are accountable for all of the academy's policies, standards and efficiency, we also have a Local Governing Board to which some responsibilities are delegated specifically for Rayne Primary and Nursery School.
The Local Governing Board work together with the head teacher and staff to support school development and to hold them to account for the overall effectiveness of the school. They support the school to ensure all children get the best possible education to which they are entitled.
Among the things the Governing Body do are:

To be effective, Governors need to really “know” the school – to have an accurate understanding of what is done well and what could be done even better. To do this they attend meetings, visit the school to monitor what is happening, consider a range of data and information about the achievements of children, seek the views of parents and children and receive reports from the headteacher and other staff including subject leaders. Governors are involved in discussing the priorities for future development and agree these as part of their half termly local governing body meetings. Governors attend training courses and receive information so that they are aware of developments in education and changes in the law which affect schools.
The Local Governing Body is made up of representatives from the school staff, local education authority and parents. Other members of the community can also be co-opted because they have relevant skills and experience. All have an interest in, and a commitment to, our children’s education.
