School Governors

The role of the school governor and governing bodies.

The role of a school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community. School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality of education. Together with the headteacher, they set the school's aims and policies.

Governors have three main roles:
 

• To provide strategic direction for the school.
• To act as a critical friend to the headteacher.
• To ensure accountability.

They also carry out a number of other important duties, which include:
 

• Determining how the school's budget is spent.
• Setting and monitoring the school's aims and policies.
• The appointing and dismissing of staff.
• Hearing appeals and grievances.
• Forming policy on the school's curriculum and collective worship.
• Setting standards for pupils' behaviour and discipline.
• Making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe.
