Governors

 

Importance of being a Governor

At our school we are developing a strong, well-led governing body, supportive of the school, its staff and its mission. As Governors we make an important contribution to the school's well-being and effectiveness.

Being a governor is a major piece of Christian and community service. As governors we don't undertake the role lightly. It involves time, energy and a willingness to become involved in the life of the school on a regular basis over at least four years.

Governing bodies

Governors are an integral part of the school leadership team and are responsible for;

  • setting the Christian ethos of the school
  • developing the school improvement plan
  • making decisions about expenditure of the school budget
  • challenging and holding the headteacher to account
  • monitoring the implementation of policies developed in consultation with the school team.

Sometimes the governing body is referred to as the critical friend of the school. It is a strategic role. Governors are not involved in the day to day running of the school: that is the responsibility of the headteacher.

In our voluntary aided school, the governing body is the employer of the staff team.

Members

Your school's governing body is a body corporate made up of individuals who together have a significant impact on the lives of their employees, pupils and the wider community.

Foundation Governors have a special care for the school's Christian character.

Governors must behave individually and collectively in a trustworthy manner.

 

Should you wish to get in touch with myself [or any Governor] you may contact them, in the first instance, via the school office.
