Governors
The remit of the governing board:
It is stated in the Governance Handbook that all boards, no matter what type of schools or how many schools they govern, have three core functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
The constitution of our governing board is as follows:
- 4 Parent governors
- 1 Local Authority governor
- 1 Headteacher
- 1 Staff governor
- 2 Co-opted governors
- 2 Partnership governors
Term of office for all governors is 4 years
