School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Governors appoint the headteacher and deputy headteacher. It is governors who hold the main responsibility for finance in schools, and it is governors who work with the headteacher to make the tough decisions about balancing resources.
Each individual governor is a member of a governing board, which is established in law as a corporate body. Individual governors may not act independently of the rest of the governing board; decisions are the joint responsibility of the governing board. |
The role of the governing board is a strategic one - its key functions are to:
▪ set the aims and objectives for the school ▪ set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives ▪ set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives ▪ monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives ▪ be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend).” |

Aims for the Governors
|
Committee Structure & the role of each committee |
Each governor has an area of school development that they are responsible for monitoring. The monitoring priorities are taken from the school development plan, which is a strategic document drawn up each academic year to ensure that specific challenges and issues are addressed.
Governors are expected to make regular visits to the school to observe their particular area of development, meeting with staff and pupils as necessary and reporting on their findings. |
The Kingslea Governing Body consists of two sub-committees:
▪ Curriculum Standards & Policy ▪ Resources Both committees meet on a termly basis and report to the Full Governing Body. |
