What governors do;

A school’s governing body has three main functions.

To ensure that the school has a clear vision and direction
To hold the headteacher to account for the school’s performance
To make sure that the school’s money is well spent

Being a school governor means being interested in getting the best education for the pupils at the school. Governors can become involved in a range of school matters, which can include recruitment, finance and curriculum.

They also provide a strong link between the school and the local community, and an independent view to support the school on long term development and improvement.

Governance boards meet at least once per term, and governors are also expected to get to know their schools through visits. There are a range of training opportunities available to help governors undertake their duties and develop their understanding of the key areas of school management.
