What Do School Governors Do?

The Governing body has the responsibility to raise school standards through three strategic core 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
Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The Governing body are the strategic leaders of the school. The headteacher with his management team manage the school on a day-to-day basis. The full Governing Body meets once per term. In addition there are two main committees that deal with issues in more detail, namely School Performance and Learning Resources. These committees also meet once a term.

The Governing Body consists of members including parents, staff, the local authority and local businesses, as well as co-opted governors recruited due to their particular skills and expertise.
