THE GOVERNORS OF THE SCHOOL

 

The government requires each school to have a governing body as the high level group responsible for the school. In Catholic and Church of England schools, the governing body is also the employer of all staff in the school.

 

According to the Dept. of Education there are three key responsibilities of the Governing Body:

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

The Bishops through the Catholic Education Service model code of conduct further require the responsibility of preserving and developing the Catholic character of the School

 

The governing body is made up of governors appointed by the Diocese (Foundation Governors – 6), by parents (2), by the Local Authority (1), by the staff (1), plus the head teacher.
