The core functions of our governing body, as set out in The School Governance (Roles, Procedures and Allowances) (England) Regulations 2013, are: - Ensuring that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined; - Ensuring that the head teacher performs his or her responsibilities for the educational performance of the school; and - Ensuring the sound, proper and effective use of the school’s financial resources. The statutory purpose of the Governing Body is to promote high standards of educational achievement at the school. The day to day management of the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher and staff, whereas the governors are responsible for the general direction of the school and providing a strategic overview. The Governing Body acts as a critical friend to the school and ensures accountability, whilst considering the interests of children, parents and staff. It makes decisions about curriculum, finance, staffing and premises matters, to help raise standards of achievement and to make sure that the school provides a good quality education for all of our pupils. Our Governors work closely with the Headteacher, the Senior Leadership Team and Staff to ensure that every child gets the best possible education. The Chair of the Governing Body is Mr Gareth Williams. He can be contacted via the Clerk to the Governing Body at ****. ### Governors ![Mr G Williams](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/041.jpg) #### Mr G Williams ##### Co-opted Governor/Chair ![Mrs H Tourle](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/043.jpg) #### Mrs H Tourle ##### Co-opted Governor ![Mr B Newman](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/044.png) #### Mr B Newman ##### Parent Governor ![Mr S McGinley](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/004.jpg) #### Mr S McGinley ##### Headteacher ![Mrs J Colaccico](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/048.jpg) #### Mrs J Colaccico ##### Parent Governor ![Miss Chloe Williams](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/Chloe_Williams.jpg) #### Miss Chloe Williams ##### Governor ![Mrs D Williams](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/imagecache/360x480c/people/016.jpg) #### Mrs D Williams ##### Governor Declarations of Interest 2025 42 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/files/documents/Declarations_of_Interest_2025.docx) Governing Body Code of Conduct 370 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/files/documents/Code-of-Conduct-2025.docx) Instrument of Government 65 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/files/documents/Instrument_Of_Government_2025_-_2026(1).pdf) Governor Details and Duties 01 September 2024 - 31 August 2025 161 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/files/documents/Governor_Information_and_Duties_2024-2025.pdf) ### About Us - [ Values & Ethos](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/values-ethos) - [Our School](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/our-school) - [Who's Who](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/who-s-who) - [Curriculum](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/curriculum) - [Key Information](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/key-information) - [Safeguarding](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/safeguarding) - [Performance](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/ofsted-report) - [Governing Body](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/governors) - [Contact Us](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/contact) ![Lyminster Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/lyminster-primary-school/images/logo/Lyminster_logo_with_circle.png) #### Lyminster Primary School Wick Street Littlehampton West Sussex BN17 7JZ 01903 713642 #### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/contact) - [Curriculum](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/curriculum) - [Term Dates](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/termdates) - [Key Information](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/about-us/key-information) #### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/lyminsterschool) © Copyright 2024–2026 Lyminster Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.lyminster.w-sussex.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
