Governing Body Team

 

All schools have a governing body which is an important part of the leadership of the school.

​

The Core Purpose of Governing Bodies

1. Setting the strategic direction of the school, agreeing aims and objectives

2. Hold the school’s headteacher and senior leadership team to account for securing the best possible outcomes for pupils

3. Oversee the financial management of the school, ensuring funding supports the school’s curriculum and development priorities

​

The Role of The Governing Body

The role of a school governor should be a rewarding but a challenging one.  In order for governing bodies to be effective, governors must:

• understand their strategic role

• understand the structure of the governing body (committees)

• adhere to confidentiality

• understand the corporate responsibility of the governing body

• have an understanding of what makes a school effective

• prepare effectively to attend governing body meetings

• get to know the school – participating in organised visits during session time

• be aware if the right balance of support and challenge

• be prepared to ask challenging questions

• be prepared to undertake further professional learning and increase their skill base

• be willing and able to monitor and review their own performance

• be willing to welcome and support new governors (sharing their knowledge)
