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 twice a term.
