The Role of the Governors

Governors are not expected to be involved in the day-to-day management and administration of the school, but rather to set strategic plans for the school and to provide the Headteacher with guidance on general principles.

While it is impossible to define in precise terms what all the duties of a Governor are, the following are among them.

To work as a member of the Governing Body for the best interests of the school, the expectation is to:

  • Attend the regular meetings and special meetings of the Governing Body, as well as meetings of any Committee to which they are appointed
  • Become familiar with general educational issues and developments
  • Take an interest in school activities
  • Promote the school within the local community
  • Be able to commit time to the duties and responsibilities of a Governor

To be prepared to become involved in:

  • Staff appointments
  • Pupil discipline
  • The school curriculum
  • The financial management of the school
  • Health and safety matters
  • Governor training
