The School Governors
School Governors
School Governors are one of the country's largest voluntary groups with around 300,000 contributing to strategic development and raising standards of achievement at more than 30,000 schools.
There are three core functions of a governing body:
- Setting vision, ethos and strategic direction, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring statutory duties are met;
- Holding headteachers to account for teaching, achievement, behaviour and safety; challenging and strengthening leadership; contributing to school self-evaluation; and
- Ensuring financial solvency and probity with effective management of financial resources, including the Pupil Premium, to raise standards.
Governing bodies meet at least three times a year. Further information can be found on http://education.gov.uk/
