Our Governors
Good governance is an essential element of an effective school and we are delighted that we have been able to attract dedicated and talented governors to our Governing Board.
Our responsibility is to ensure three things: that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined, that the Headteacher performs her responsibilities for the best educational performance of the school and that there is sound, proper and effective use of the school financial resources. In order to achieve this, we meet as a full Governing Board four times a year. We have two key committees. The Finance and Resources Committee meets four times a year and the Curriculum and Standards Committee meets three times a year. We also have a Pay Committee which meets once a year. In addition, each governor regularly visits the school to find out more about the particular areas where governors have special responsibilities, such as safeguarding, and children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

In accordance with the Department for Education’s statutory guidance, governors are required to declare any "relevant business and pecuniary interests including governance roles in other educational institutions; and any material interests arising from relationships between governors or relationships between governors and school staff (including spouses, partners and close relatives)".
The following interests have been declared:
| Governor | Interest declared |
| Marion Budd | Governance role at Wood End Primary School, Northolt |
| Carole Millard | Staff Governor at Bourne Primary School, South Ruislip |
We also collect governors' diversity data. This is not currently published on our website in order to protect governors from being identified through the publication of this data, as board numbers are low.
The clerk to our Governing Board is Kate Atkins, who can be contacted via email on katkins@northolthigh.org.uk.
