The Role of the Governors

The Governing Body works in partnership with the Headteacher to set the future direction for the school and promote continuous improvement in the performance of the school. This involves:

The establishment of a school development plan
The setting of challenging but achievable targets
The interpretation of information to assess progress and determine appropriate action
Monitor the impact of policies
Oversee the use of the school’s budget
Report to parents on the school’s achievements
Respond to inspection recommendations
Hear appeals from pupils and staff and consider complaints

Governors provide the Headteacher with support and advice, drawing on their knowledge and experience. The Headteacher is responsible for day-to-day management of the school. The governing body is there to be a ‘critical friend’, who can provide the right balance between supporting and challenging the performance of both the Headteacher and the school.
