Governors
Ayo Odusanya
Chair of Governors
I volunteer as a school governor because I truly believe in the power of education to transform lives. I am proud to serve as Chair at Stanton Vale School, where our commitment to inclusive, innovative learning not only supports every student’s potential but also strengthens our vibrant community through collaboration and shared values.
As Governors, we are committed to supporting the Headteacher to help our students achieve their full potential in an inclusive, vibrant, and exciting educational community. Our focus is not only the school experience of each student but ensuring a successful transition into adulthood.
The Governing body exists to serve five main purposes,
- To provide strategic direction for the improvement of the school whilst ensuring the school has a clear vision, direction, and ethos.
- To support and encourage our Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team, and all school personnel, to ensure that every one of our children has access to an enriched education and to all the opportunities that they deserve.
- To monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the school.
- To hold the school and Headteacher to account for the standards achieved and the quality of education.
- To oversee the financial performance of the school in these very challenging times to ensure that the money the school receives is spent wisely.
As Chair, my role is to act as a critical friend to the Headteacher and to support her in the complex decision-making required to successfully run and continuously improve her school.
