Our School Governors

Our governors hold an important public office and we are asked to ensure that their identity is published to the school and wider community.
​
Governors are the strategic leaders of our schools and have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education.  Governing bodies should have a strong focus on three core strategic functions: Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
​
​The duties of a school governor include: Setting the strategic direction, policies and objectives for the school, approving the budget, reviewing progress against the budget and objectives, challenging and supporting senior staff and playing a part in appointing staff.

By law, governing bodies meet at least three times every year, as a Full Governing Body, where the ongoing business of committees, the governing body and the school are discussed, reported on and where decisions are taken by a majority vote. Most of the work of governors however is done at committee level.
