Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards.
The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school. Time and time again, Ofsted has noted that effective leadership contributes to making a school, including a governing body, good.
Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings
The full governing body meets once or twice a term. At these meetings, the governing body carries out its three core functions, as identified by the Department for Education in the Governors Handbook.
The governing body has established a Finance & Buildings Committee to provide guidance and assistance to the Head teacher and governing body on all financial issues and exercise delegated responsibility for the condition, repair, extension and alternation of the premises. Full terms of reference for this committee are contained within the Governing Body Standing Orders which can be provided by the school on request.
School governors
The governing body thought it would be useful to give some back-ground to our work in school, where we fit into school life and our role within the school.
We currently have ten governors on our full governing body (FGB), including governors from the community, from the local authority, from staff, including the head teacher, and from parents.
School governors are responsible for:
Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff;
Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation
and making sure its money is well spent.
