 What do the Governors do?

The Governors' key responsibilities include:

  • Ensuring the school runs effectively and provides the best possible education,
  • Challenging and supporting the school to do better,
  • Taking a strategic view, setting policies, plans and targets,
  • Monitoring and evaluating results,
  • Monitoring the finances, including the annual budget and ongoing spending, and,
  • Delegating enough power to the Headteacher to run the school effectively.

What the Governors don't do is organise, manage or control the school on a day-to-day basis - this is the responsibility of the Headteacher. Nor do we get involved in individual pupil issues unless there is a serious incident or an appeal. 

The full governing body meets every month to monitor the strategic direction of the school. Governors also visit classes and assemblies from time to time. We work with Mrs Ainge, and the staff, to keep in touch with the developments in teaching and learning across the curriculum and the school. 

The School Governors

Governors usually serve a four year term on the Governing Body. The role of Governors is now far reaching with wide ranging responsibilities. As Governors we welcome any comments or suggestions which will help us to maintain and improve the school.
