Roles and Responsibilities

Our governing body plays a vital strategic role in the life of the school. It has a range of duties and powers, with an overarching responsibility for the conduct of the school and for promoting high standards of educational achievement.

Core Responsibilities include:

  • Setting strategic direction and targets for pupil achievement
  • Managing the school’s finances responsibly and transparently
  • Ensuring the curriculum is broad, balanced, and ambitious
  • Appointing staff and overseeing leadership capacity
  • Reviewing staff performance and pay
  • Monitoring safeguarding and pupil welfare

Governors are expected to provide effective challenge and support, ensuring that decisions are ethical, evidence-based, and focused on improving outcomes for all pupils.
