Governors have a collective responsibility for important financial decisions in the school. Governors complete skills matrices to ensure the necessary skills are in place. Governors have identified that the overall strategy for the school is 'to provide a quality standard of education to local primary age children using all the resources we have available to us to maximise the opportunities we can make available to them and be the local school of choice'.
Strategic Intervention Board (SIB) at Lincewood Primary School
In June 2019, Essex County Council formally suspended the governing body’s right to a delegated budget as the school is eligible for statutory intervention following the outcome of a Warning Notice issued on 10th June 2019.
The effect of the suspension is that the governing body have no power to make decisions with financial implications over £5000 until the suspension is lifted. The governing body and its committees may continue to meet but may not take any decisions about the management of the school budget. ECC will therefore take responsibility for such decisions and to discharge this function, a Strategic Intervention Board has been established, the membership of which is below:
Membership:
- Chair of the Board – Mike Capon
- SIB Member – Niki Bannister
- SIB Member – Linda Robinson
- Chair of Governors – Sandra Hillier
- Vice-Chair of Governors – Scott Croly
- Acting Headteacher – Julie Braithwaite
- Executive Headteacher – Mel Gaskin
- School Effectiveness Partner assigned to the school – Maz Norman
