The Governors are here to support the strategic development of the school and to support the Headteacher and the leadership team to move the school forward and ensuring the needs of all the learners’ are met. Governors come from all walks of life and fulfil different roles according to their skills. The Governing Board has a vital role in raising and maintaining standards.
School governors are also involved in the school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. The main responsibilities of a school governor include:
- Monitoring the school's financial performance to ensure effective use of resources
- Holding the headteacher accountable for the educational outcomes of the school and its students
- Providing a clear vision, ethos, and strategic direction.
If you are in school, you may see Governors around, as we do visit classrooms and talk to the staff about how well the learners are doing. All Governors will be wearing a green lanyard to make sure we are easy to identify.
