Governors are a voluntary body of people who guide and support the strategic direction of the school. They are members of the school team and their contribution to the running of the school is highly valued.
School Governing Body
The instrument of government states that the governing body shall consist of:
2 parent governors
1 local authority governor
1 staff governor
1 headteacher
2 co-opted governors
5 foundation governors (4 appointed by the church, 1 by Ellsworth Trust)
The board is a strategic decision making partner to the leadership of our schools, with dedication to their fundamental roles.
As set out in the Governance Handbook, all boards have these three core functions:
1. Ensure the clarity of the vision, ethos and strategic direction.
2. Hold the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the school(s) and its pupils and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
3. Oversee the financial performance of the school(s) and making sure that its money is well spent.
