"Governors have a good understanding of what the school does well and what needs to improve. They provide effective challenge and support to leaders. They visit the school frequently and ensure that they fulfil their statutory responsibilities. Staff are proud to work at the school. They value the high priority leaders place on their workload and wellbeing." |

Governors are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable their school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide an excellent education to children.
Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing body meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. They are also involved in the school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders.
Governors bring a wide range of skills and expertise from their professional lives to the governing board and schools benefit greatly from working with skilled volunteers, for example anyone with experience of finance, law, premises management or human resources. A governor with business know-how can transform the running of a school.
If you think that you have skills which would benefit our school, please speak to the headteacher.
