The Governing Board has a strategic role with three fundamental responsibilities:
- Ensuring vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school;
- Holding the Head of School to account for the school performance.
The majority of these responsibilities are managed through three committees:
- Curriculum: responsible for teaching and learning;
- Operations & Staffing: accountable for finance, staffing and premises;
- Performance & Standards: responsible for monitoring achievement and attainment.
The Board meets termly to monitor the impact of the committees and to review the School Development Plan.
Additionally, each governor has a link role for a specific school area. Link governors are responsible for reviewing their particular areas of the school’s work and reporting back to the committees or Governing Board.
