Governors' information and duties
Responsibilities
The governing board is the school’s legally accountable body and must operate in the best interests of the school. The board is the school’s key strategic decision maker.
The task of the governing board is to lead the school strategically, focusing on the three core functions.
As set out in the Governance Handbook, the three core functions are: 1. Ensuring clarity of the vision, ethos and strategic direction. 2. Holding the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school(s) and its pupils and the effective and efficient performance management of staff. 3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school(s) and making sure that its money is well spent.
Some elements of responsibility have been delegated to 3 committees; Pay, Finance & Resources and Standards & Development. These committees are governed by annually agreed Terms of Reference.
Structure
Governors are the people who make up the board. All governors are volunteers who are either appointed or elected to the board.
