Local Governing Body
The Eastwick Schools Local Governing Body fulfils a monitoring role to ensure accountability and financial probity in the operation of the school and works with the school community to establish the strategic direction of Eastwick Schools.
Our objective is to build on the success of Eastwick and help drive a process of continuous improvement.
We are made up of staff and parent representation, as well as members of the local community to ensure a broad range of skills and experience is available to the school. The following people are members of our 2017 - 2018 Local Governing Body.
| Role | Name |
| Chair Of Governors | Liz McDermid |
| Joint Vice Chair | William Apps |
| Joint Vice Chair | David Parrett |
| Headteacher | Tim Smith |
| Locally Appointed Governor | Ruth Simpson |
| Locally Appointed Governor | Simon Bachelor |
| Parent Governor | Paula Abreu |

| Staff Governor | Ellen Smith |
The Local Governing Body formally meets each term.
Governors also undertake to visit the school at least once each term and to spend time in the classroom familiarising themselves with how the school operates. Governors are encouraged to see for themselves what success looks like and the hard work of both pupils and staff in achieving this, and to recognise challenges that might affect learning outcomes.
Recent work
Over the past year or so the Local Governing Body has been exploring how best to safeguard and improve the educational provision at Eastwick in the context of changes to educational policy regarding how schools are funded and operated.
On the Teaching & Learning side, the Local Governing Body continues to support the school in delivering the new curriculum and the move to assessment without levels.
