Sir Henry Fermor CE Primary School joined the Tenax Schools Trust as an academy on 1 April 2016. The Tenax Schools Trust is a Church of England multi-academy trust (MAT) that exists to provide outstanding education in both primary and secondary schools in Kent and East Sussex. Under the governance arrangements for the Tenax Schools Trust, each of its academies has its own Local Governing Body (LGB) to allow some areas of work to be monitored in more detail.
Sir Henry Fermor CE Primary School has 8 governors.
Mr S. Woolmer, Chair of Governors
Mrs V. Edwards, Headteacher,
Mrs K. Hill,
Miss V. Rose,
Reverend S. Rees,
Mrs H. Kinsella
Mr E. Stols
Mrs J. Clark
All governors are appointed by Tenax Schools Trust, with the exception of the two parent governors who are elected by parents and the staff governor who is elected by staff.
Our interim Clerk to Local Governors is Miss J. Hasse.
Our Local Governing Body meets 3 times per year.
The roles and responsibilities of the Local Governing Body are:
Standards and Safeguarding
Ethos, Character and Local Traditions
Working with Parents and the Local Community
Further details of the LGB's roles and responsibilities are contained in the Terms of Reference document below.
Individual governors also take on specific responsibilities as “link governors” for areas of the curriculum and aspects of the school’s life. These are detailed in the school’s LGB Information document below.
We are fortunate to have such a dedicated board of governors who are very active within the school; regularly coming into school and sharing in the learning and teaching taking place.
If you wish to contact the Chair of Governors, Mr S. Woolmer, by letter please send c/o the School Office or email the Clerk to the LGB –clerk@fermorschool.org.uk
