Structure and Responsibility of Governors

 

Our School Governing Body

 

Governors are a voluntary body of people who guide and support the strategic direction of the school. They are members of the school team and their contribution to the running of the school is highly valued.

 

School Governing Body

 

 

The Instrument of Government states that the governing body shall consist of:

 

  • 3 parent governors
  • 1 authority governor
  • 1 staff governor
  • 1 headteacher
  • 6 co-opted governors

 

The role of the governing body is a strategic one, its key functions are to:

  • Set the aims and objectives of the school
  • Set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
  • Set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives
  • Monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives
  • Be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend)
