Governors
The responsibility for the strategic management of the school is shared between the head teacher and the school governors.
Governing Bodies have a range of duties and powers including:
- Helping to establish, with the head teacher, the aims and policies of the school
- Advising on spending the school budget
- Ensuring that the National Curriculum and Religious Education are provided
- Selecting the head teacher
- Appointing, promoting, supporting and disciplining staff
- Providing outside advice, acting as a link between the local community and school.
The Governing Body has a general responsibility for strategic management of the school. It is not expected to take detailed decisions about the day to day running of the school – that is the function of the head teacher and other staff. The Governing Body is a group: individual members have no power, except when the whole Governing Body has delegated a specific power to an individual. The Governing Body meets at least termly.
