School Governing Bodies are given a range of duties by Parliament that concern the overall management of the school. Governors work in close partnership with the Headteacher, who is responsible for the day to day running of the school, and with the teaching staff, to agree the aims of the school and to decide together how the standard of education can best be monitored and improved.
Governors bring to this role a range of interests, experience and expertise, meeting as a full governing body at least once a term. They may also serve on committees, which are asked to consider matters delegated to them by the full governing body. Any recommendations arising from such committee meetings are always referred back to the full governing body for final approval. Minutes of meetings are displayed publicly once they have been approved.
Many Governors are linked to a particular class and during visits to the school make every effort to observe the children and offer support to the class teacher. Governors also try to attend as many as possible the extra-curricular school events. Governors normally hold office for four years from their date of appointment.
