Governing Body Strategic Functions
– Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
– Hold the Headteacher to account

No special qualifications are needed; the most important thing is to have a keen interest in the School and be prepared to play an active part in the Governing Body’s work. Free training is available for all governors and is currently delivered via webinar.

Nominations must be from parents or carers with children at the School. Parent/carers who have paid employment in the School for 500 or more hours per academic year or who are elected members of the Local Authority, are not eligible for nomination.
