School Governors
School governors play an important role in the life of our school. Their duties include:
- setting the strategic direction, policies and objectives
- approving the budget
- reviewing progress against the budget and objectives
- challenging and supporting senior staff
- playing a part in appointing staff
The governing body in schools is made up of:
- staff representatives, including the headteacher
- community governors, including parents
- other local sponsors, like businesses
Each governor usually serves a term of four years and they are elected by nomination and formal ballot. Parents are informed when an opportunity arises for election as a parent governor. This is an excellent way to support your child's school and gain insight into how our school operates.
