Meet the Governors

THE GOVERNING BODY PROVIDES STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN SCHOOLS.

 

It has three key 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 effective and efficient performance management of staff
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
