Governors
School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Their role is not operational.
They work with the school to monitor and guide its efforts to raise the achievement of our pupils. Governors appoint the head teacher and deputy headteacher. It is governors who hold the main responsibility for finance in schools, and they work with the school to ensure that the needs of all people are met.
Governors meet once a term for the following committees (you can access the committees’ terms of reference by clicking on a committee’s name):
In addition to these committee meetings, there is also a full governing body meeting once a term.
