Introduction and Overview

What do governors do?

Governors are like a Board of Directors and make decisions about how the School is run. They meet at least once a term in School.

Who Are School Governors?

School Governors have legal duties and responsibilities. They can only act together, they cannot act individually. They are either:

• Parents
• Teachers or Support Staff at the School
• Local Council Representatives
• Diocesan Representatives (Foundation Governors)

Key Roles and Responsibilities

• Decide what is taught
• Set standards of behaviour
• Interview and select staff
• Decide how the School Budget is spent

The Sub Committees

Much of the work however is carried out in sub committees. More details about the Sub-Committees and the roles of the Governors can be found in the governance drop down.
