Governors
The school employers are the Board of Governors. Their constitution is defined in law by the school's Instrument of Government. They meet as a full Board six times a year (minimum). Most of their work is completed in Committees which is then brought back to the full Board. They are responsible for the organisation, administration and finance of the school, as well as the underlying strategy that aims to improve standards. They are all volunteers.
The School Governors are responsible for:
- The ethos and attitudes of the school and all concerned with it.
- The school’s general appearance.
- Admission of pupils.
- School Uniform.
- Curriculum Content.
- Content of R.E. curriculum.
- Community relations.
On an individual level, governors are expected to act like a 'critical friend', recognising and celebrating the achievements of the school, whilst pointing out shortcomings, striking an appropriate balance between support and challenge. They have a role to monitor the progress towards strategic priorities and targets, and that policies are correctly implemented.
