There is a Committee structure that includes aspects relating to the school's finances, staffing, curriculum and health and safety as well as performance data.
Both Full Governors, Teaching and Learning and Resource Management meetings take place throughout the year. The Governors also undertake monitoring visist within the school looking at various aspects (including progress) in different areas of the curriculum discussing these with both Senior staff and the children.

CHAIR OF GOVERNOR'S WELCOME
Dear Bolsover Church of England Junior School Community,
My name is Alison Adair, and I am currently acting in the role as Chair of Governors at our school.
I am delighted to be able to serve our school community and to support the school leadership team as effectively as I can as we journey together towards ‘good’. It is so thrilling and a genuine privilege to be part of a school where the team are so committed to improving opportunities for every pupil every day.
Originally from the Chesterfield area, my family and I moved to live in Bolsover in 2014. Sean, my husband, is the local Methodist Minister based at Hilltop Methodist Church. We have two grown up daughters, Lauren and Beth, and a wonderful little grandson.
I bring my own expertise and skills in education to the role as Chair of Governors, as I have worked as an Executive Headteacher and National Leader of Education in the Diocese Sheffield Academies Trust, and where I am currently their Head of School Improvement. Within that role, I have managed schools who have found themselves in a similar situation to our own, in an Ofsted category, or with outcomes well below national, leading them to rapid and sustained improvement. Hopefully, some of these skills and experiences will prove useful as I serve the school community in my role as a governor.
As Chair of Governors, I would like to thank all the members of the Governing Body, the Headteacher and all the staff for their dedication and for the time they give the school and our children throughout the year.
Thank you for the wonderful privilege of serving alongside you all!
