Heigham Community Federation Governors
Recreation Road Infant and Avenue Junior Schools have partnered together to create the Heigham Community Federation. The federation has one governing board, formed from representatives of parents, staff, the community and the Local Authority.
Avenue Junior School
The governing board’s role is to oversee the work of the school, to support and challenge it and to help it plan for the future.
Together governors:
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Hold the Executive Headteacher and Heads of School to account for the educational performance of federation schools and their pupils.
- Oversee the financial performance of the school and make sure it’s money is well spent.
Our Governors are currently:
- Michael Bunting, Head Teacher Governor
- Jen Carlin, Associate Member
- Mike Grimble (Co-Chair), Co-opted Governor
- Mike Hooper, Associate Member
- Denise Mattock, Associate Member
- Laura Harris, Co-opted Governor
- Judith Mayne, Co-opted Governor
- Pamela Reynell (Co-Chair), Co-opted Governor
- Sam Rowbury, Co-opted Governor
- Jo Thompson, Local Authority Governor
- Victoria Younespour, Parent Governor
The Federation operates a ‘collapsed model’ of governance. It doesn’t have committees; instead it has monthly Full Governing Board Meetings. Approved minutes of these meetings are available on this webpage, or upon request from the school office.
Please call the school office if you wish to contact one of our governors.
