What do Governors do?
The governing board’s responsibility is to ensure the school improves each year. It guides the strategic direction of the school and makes sure targets are met; whilst allowing the Headteacher and teaching professionals to manage the school on a day to day basis.
Our Governors attend 6 meetings per year, where reports about the school's progress are discussed. They challenge and monitor key information given by school leaders and ensure the school spends its budget wisely, in line with priorities agreed in the school improvement plan.
The role of the governing board is a strategic one, its key functions are to:
