The Governing Body
The Governing Body is here to help the school provide the best possible education for our pupils by:- Thinking and working strategically to help to raise standards
- Monitoring and evaluating progress towards the school's priorities and targets
- Supporting the headteacher and staff as well as challenging their expectations
- Accounting to all stakeholders for the school's overall performance and for the decisions they have made
There are three main areas in the role of the school governors:
- To take a largely strategic role in the running of the school
- To act as a critical friend to the school
- To ensure accountability of the governing body to the parents and of the headteacher to the governing body
