The Regional Director of the West Midlands, Andrew Warren, has, on behalf of the Secretary of State, approved the establishment of an Interim Executive Board (IEB) to provide governance for William Murdoch Primary School. This means the existing Governing Board has been disbanded. Rest assured, the Senior Leadership Team at William Murdoch Primary School remains in place, with the same members of:
• Mr M Singh – Headteacher
• Mr A Matthews - Deputy Headteacher
• Mrs M Pannu - Deputy Headteacher / SENCO
• Mrs J Patel - Strategic Business Manager
The IEB:
The approval of the IEB was made following an application submitted to the DfE by the Local Authority in which it set out the rationale for an IEB through its powers of intervention as laid out in the Education and Inspections Act 2006.
The membership of the IEB draws upon professionals who are working in the field of education and have a background in robust school governance. The IEB will be Chaired by Daniel Taylor and is made up of the following members:
Daniel Taylor, IEB Chair
Nadeem Bhatti, IEB Member
Kalsom Khan, IEB Member
Surrinder Bains, IEB Member
Kay Davies, IEB Member
The IEB will be a short-term solution to support the governance of the school whilst a more permanent governance structure is established and, more importantly, ensure that all of our pupils continue to have the best possible education. Members have been chosen in accordance with the skills and knowledge and the needs of our school. The Interim Executive Board will provide high quality governance that will support the continuing improvement of the school, and promote high standards of educational achievement through:
• Mr M Singh – Headteacher
• Mr A Matthews - Deputy Headteacher
• Mrs M Pannu - Deputy Headteacher / SENCO
• Mrs J Patel - Strategic Business Manager

The Interim Executive Board will provide high quality governance that will support the continuing improvement of the school, and promote high standards of educational achievement through:
- providing a strategic framework, within which the Headteacher and staff run the school, by setting visions and aims, establishing structures, setting priorities and targets for school improvement and agreeing policies.
- supporting and challenging the work of the school through appropriate monitoring, and by evaluating the impact of agreed plans and policies.
- holding the Headteacher and staff to account for the performance of the school, and explain decisions made/actions taken by the IEB to parents and other stakeholders in order to account for the school's overall performance.
- Overseeing the school’s financial performance and making sure its money is well spent.
