--- title: "Governors" url: "https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/governors" school: "Hill View Primary School" --- # Governors ### Governors The role of the school governors is to ensure high standards of achievement for all children and young people in the school by: - Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction; - Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and - Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent. At any time, our governing body will have a mix of each of these types of governors: - Parent - elected by parents and serve a term of four years. - Staff - elected by the staff of Hill View Primary School. - Local authority - appointed by Halton Borough Council. - Co-opted The governing body of Hill View Primary School has, in accordance with the ‘Instrument of Government’ a total number of 14 members. This shall consist of four Parent Governors, one Local Authority Governor, one Staff Governor, one Head Teacher and seven Co-opted Governors. Currently not all vacancies are filled. The responsibilities and powers have to be exercised in partnership with the headteacher and staff. Governors do not intervene in the day-to-day running of the school. When there are weaknesses in the school they have a duty to take action. **Name and address of chair of the Governing Body:** **Mr Karl Ashton** **Hill View Primary School** **Beechwood Avenue** **Runcorn** **WA7 3HB** **Email: chair@hillviewprimary.com** ### Governor List 2026 | ​**​​Name** | **​Start Date** | **​End date** | **​Governor Type** | **​Responsibility** | |---|---|---|---|---| | ​**Karl Ashton** | **​22 June 2015** | **​13 October 2027** | **​Co-opted** | **​Chair, Educational Visits Governor, Children and Young People in Care, Training and Support** | | **​Joanne Rowley** | **​22 June 2015** | **​13 October 2027** | **​Co-opted** | **​Vice Chair, Child Protection** | | **​Tina Fitzsimons** | **​22 June 2015** | **​4 March 2027** | **​Co-opted Staff Governor** | **​SEND, Safer recruitment trained, Equality Link Governor** | | **​Richard Jackson** | **​02 July 2015** | ​ | **​Headteacher** | ​ | | **Sarah Bratt** | **26 January 2024** | **25 january 2028** | **Parent** | **SRE, Mental Health and Wellbeing** | | **Faye Edwards** | **15 March 2023** | **15 March 2027** | **Parent** | **Literacy** | | **​Clare Oakes** | **​25 June 2016** | **​24 June 2028** | **​Staff Teacher** | **​Child Protection, Safer Recruitment, Safer Recruitment Trained** | | **Chris Philips** | **4 March 2026** | **5 Feb 2030** | **Parent** | **Maths** | | **Lisa Edwards** | **13 May 2026** | **14 May 2030** | **Parent** | | ### Governors Documents Hill View Governors Code of Conduct 560 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hill-view-primary-school/files/documents/Hill_View_Governors_Code_of_Conduct.docx) Instrument of Government 92 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hill-view-primary-school/files/documents/governors/Instrument_of_Government.pdf) Governor Attendance at Meetings 28 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hill-view-primary-school/files/documents/Copy_of_Governor_Attendance_at_Meetings.xlsx) Disclosure of Conflict 19 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hill-view-primary-school/files/documents/Disclosure_of_Conflict(1).docx) Governors Allowance Policy 17 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/hill-view-primary-school/files/documents/governors/Governors_Allowance_Policy.docx) ### Our School - [Message from the Headteacher](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/welcome) - [Ethos and Values](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/ethos-and-values) - [Thinking School](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/thinking-school) - [Safeguarding](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Admissions](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Attendance](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/attendance) - [Governors](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/governors) - [SEND](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/send) - [Pupil Premium](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/pupil-premium) - [Ofsted reports](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-reports) - [PE and Sports](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/pe-and-sports) - [Policies](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Exam results](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/exam-results) - [Term Dates and Opening Times](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/term-dates) - [Freedom of Information](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/freedom-of-information) - [Financial Information](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/financial-information) ### Hill View Primary School Beechwood Avenue Beechwood Runcorn Cheshire WA7 3HB 01928 714666 ### Useful Links - [Curriculum](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum-provision-statement) - [Uniform](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/parents/uniform) - [Ofsted Reports](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-reports) - [Ofsted Reports](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-reports) - [Contact Us](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/contact) ### Helpful Links - [School Day](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/parents/our-school-day) - [Attendance](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/attendance) - [Exam Results](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/exam-results) - [Policies](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Safeguarding](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/our-school/safeguarding) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/hillviewps) © Copyright 2020–2026 Hill View Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hillview.halton.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
