What do the Governors do?
|
The Governing Body of the school is the authority which shapes and leads the school's development.
It is responsibile for the strategic and organisational decision making of the school.
It decides the staffing establishment and structure, school policies and procedures, and the curriculum which is delivered.
Whilst the Head Teacher and Leadership Team are responsible for the day to day running of the school, it is the Governing Body which has the overall authority and responsibiity for the school.

Becoming a Governor
|
|
|
There are four categories of governor;
Community Governors (*4),
Local Authority Governors (*3),
Parent Governors (*6),
Staff Governors (*3)
.....and the Head Teacher.
When a Parent Governor vacancy arises, parents are asked to nominate candidates from the parent community.
Elections may be held and parents vote for their preferred candidate.
The successful parent is duly elected to the Governing Body for a period of four years term of office.
Other categories of Governor are elected or co-opted from the relevant community groups.
