CHARACTERISTICS AND ROLE OF SCHOOL GOVERNORS |
Governors are people who wish to make a positive contribution to the school and the education of its children. They will contribute to the effective day-to-day running of the school and have an effective input toward the educational achievements of its pupils.
A governing body’s overriding responsibility is to work in partnership with the head teacher to promote continuous improvement in the performance of the school. This involves the establishment of a development plan, the setting of challenging but achievable targets and the interpretation of information to assess progress and determine appropriate action. Typically, a governor’s duties will average at around 2-3 hours of spare time each month. Aligned to its improvement role, the governing body is there to be a ‘critical friend’ who can provide the right balance between supporting and challenging the performance of both the head teacher and the school. |
TRAINING AND SUPPORT |
A regular newsletter is sent to all school governors in the area to keep them informed of developments in education policy and current best practices.
