                                                        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.
