Governors

Who do the Governors represent?
In short, the school. However, governors are drawn from the various groups that have an interest in the successful running of the school; parents, teachers, other staff, the Local Authority (LA) and the wider community.

What is the role of school governors?
School governors make collective decisions and their primary function is to help raise the educational standards and performance of a school by supporting the work of the headteacher and staff. Governors make important decisions on how a school will be run. The governing body is answerable to parents and the wider community.

Some of the things expected of governors include:
Promoting high standards of achievement;
Planning the school's long-term future;
Setting the school's aims, values and ethos;
Budgetary allocation and control;
Appointing senior staff.
