What are Governors?

Governors are like a Board of Directors and make decisions about how the school is run. They meet at school at least once a term.

Governors are appointed to help:

• decide what is taught.
• set standards of behaviour.
• interview and select staff.
• decide how the school budget is spent.

School Governors have legal duties, powers and responsibilities. They can only act together, they cannot act individually. They submit a report to parents each year.

School Governors are:

• parents.
• teachers and non-teaching staff at school.
• local council representatives.
• Foundation Governors (Community Representatives).
