The Role of Governors

Governors work on a voluntary basis, i.e, Governors are not paid for their duties. Governors attend training sessions to prepare them for their role. Governing Bodies have many responsibilities and they need to make decisions about how these should be carried out. A large part of the work involved relates to school improvement, so governors specialise in certain topics, such as Literacy, Numeracy, Special Needs, Assessment and Teaching and Learning. It is often necessary to spend more time than we have at the regular Governor meeting to discuss policies, budgets or reports. This work is delegated to committees Governors also regularly spend time in school monitoring elements of the School Improvement Plan.
