The Governing Body 2020/2021
The governors are the strategic leaders of schools and they have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education. The Governing Body is the school’s key strategic decision making body. It has a collective, legal responsibility for the effective management of the school, acting within a framework established by national legislation and the school’s agreed policies, and ensuring all statutory duties are met.
Governors are volunteers who bring knowledge, skills and different perspectives from their work and life experiences. They are not paid for their work. Many of them have full time jobs and all have other commitments. They sometimes take time off from their work to visit the school or to attend meetings.
Governors are not expected to take detailed decisions about the day to day running of the school. That is the responsibility of the headteacher – although the headteacher will discuss most aspects of school life with the governors. The partnership between the headteacher, staff, governors, parents, pupils and the wider community determines how well the school functions.
We work hard to ensure the school provides the best possible education for our pupils by:
