The School Governing Body
The department for Education has high expectations of governing bodies. We are the strategic leaders of our school and have a vital role to play in making sure every child gets the best possible education. This is reflected in the law, which states that the purpose of maintained school governing bodies is to ‘conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement at the school’.
Governing bodies should have a strong focus on three core strategic functions:
-
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.
