A school Governor’s role is to act as an independent source of both challenge and support to the school. The day to day leadership and management of the school is for the Headteacher and the senior leadership team.
Governors are required to contribute to the work of the Governing Body in:
- keeping the welfare and education of the students at the heart of everything we do, and ensuring the school maintains its position of being rooted in the local community
- developing and monitoring the strategic plan and year on year targets for the school
- ensuring that the best and most efficient use is made of our capital assets and our revenue funding
- supporting the senior leadership team and holding it to account
- ensuring that the quality of our communication with parents, carers and other stakeholders is responsive, transparent and professional
Governors are accountable to each other and to the entire school community.
