About Elm Court
Governance
The Elm Court Livity Federation operates with a unitary governing body with responsibility for both schools.
The aim of the Governing Body is to provide the highest quality education for the children, through sound governance that promotes dedicated teaching within a stimulating and safe environment, where all children are valued and encouraged to develop their full potential.
The Governing Body comprises representatives of parents, staff, the community and the local authority. It acts as a corporate body through a committee structure that sets, monitors and reviews the strategic direction of the school and provides constructive and challenging support.
The Full Governing Body meets twice each.
Annual priorities are laid down in the School Development Plans.
Anyone wishing to contact the School Governors can do so through the school office. Minutes of all meetings are held by the school and are available on request via the clerk.
