Governors
School governors are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school. They focus on strategy, policy, budgeting, and staffing, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing board meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. School governors are also involved in the school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders.
The main responsibilities of a school governor include:
Ensuring the strategic direction, vision and ethos of a school.
- Holding executive leaders within a school to account on various issues.
- Overseeing financial performance and ensuring money is well spent across a school.
