 Governing Body
Why is there a Governing Body? There is a governing body in every school and its purpose is to help the school provide the best education possible for its pupils.

How are governors appointed? The Education Committee appoints three Governors, five are elected by parents, two are elected by school staff and four are co-opted and 3 are appointed by the Board of Trustees. The Head Teacher chooses to be a Governor.
What do governors do? The Governing Body acts as a group, although each governor makes up their own mind about matters considered. Governors are responsible for the mission, aims and the values of the school. They decide with the Head Teacher how the school will develop; maintain and improve standards; and approve the policies and procedures which will support that development.
To do things effectively, governors serve on committees and task groups: they attend meetings, get to know the school, undertake training and promote the interest of the school and the education of its pupils. |
