Governors
School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education.
Governors are one of the most significant volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. Time and time again Ofsted (the national inspection body for schools) has noted that the most effective schools demonstrate effective leadership and management - including by the governing board.
What do governors do?
School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Governors appoint the headteacher and deputy headteacher. In some schools, the site is owned by the governing board. It is governors who hold the main responsibility for finance in schools, and it is governors who work with the headteacher to make the tough decisions about balancing resources.
Our Governing Body is made up of the following: 1 x Headteacher Governor 3 x parent governors 1 x staff governor 1 x Local Authority governor 2 x Foundation (Trust) governors 5 x co-opted governors
