Governing bodies are accountable for the strategic direction of their school and for the quality of education provided.
Many kinds of people can become governors of schools. They will have a particular reason for serving on the governing body. Because of these different reasons all governing bodies have a core group of governors, consisting of:
- Parent governors
- Teacher governors
- Staff governors
- Local Authority governors
- Community governors
- The headteacher (acting in the capacity of a governor where this is his/her choice)
- Associate Governors (limited voting rights)
A Governor is a volunteer who:
- has an interest in education;
- represents those with a key interest in the school;
- is part of a team which accepts responsibility for everything a school does;
- has time to commit to meetings and other occasions;
- is willing to learn;
- is able to act as a critical friend who supports the school but also challenges and asks questions about how the school works and the standards it achieves;
- acts as a link between parents, the local community, the Local Authority and the school.
