Full Governing Body

All boards, whether in the maintained or academy sector and no matter how many schools they are responsible for, have three core functions:

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
2. Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent. 

 
The role of the governing body is to:

• set the strategic direction, vision and ethos of the school
• monitor and challenge the progress of the school in achieving its priorities
• recruit and performance manage the headteacher
• exercise employer responsibility
• ensure the school(s) meet its statutory responsibilities
• ensure financial probity
• ensure the premises are well managed and
• report to the school's stakeholders.
