The role of the Governing Body

The Governing Body helps the school provide the best possible education for its pupils.  It provides the Headteacher and the staff with support, advice and information, drawing on its members’ knowledge and experience. 

The Governing Body has the responsibility for monitoring and evaluating the school’s effectiveness in the interests of the school and its pupils.  The governing Body has the right to discuss, question and refine proposals – while always respecting the professional roles of the Headteacher and staff, and their responsibilities for the management of the school.  In its turn the Governing Body answers for its actions, above all to parents and the wider local community for the school’s overall performance.
