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
-
Setting the strategic direction of the school, agreeing aims and objectives
-
Hold the school’s headteacher and senior leadership team to account for securing the best possible outcomes for pupils
-
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 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)
