What are Governors?

There are various types of governors drawn from different areas of the community including, parents, staff, LEA, community and other groups.  Governors are volunteers who spend several hours each month attending meetings and working to further the school’s development.

 

How do Governors help children?

School governors are people who wish to make a positive contribution to children’s education.  Together with the head teacher they set the future direction of the school and decide how the school’s budget should be spent.  Governing bodies make decisions collectively on matters such as school policies and the school’s development plan and act as a "critical friend" to the school.

 

Categories of Governors:

Elected by parents and carers of children at the school
