Governors

The responsibilities of school governors

What do school governors do?

Governors are people who have an interest in the role of schools in society and wish to make a positive contribution to their communities. They will contribute to the effective day-to-day running of the school and the educational achievements of its pupils.

Key roles

The main task for governing bodies is to promote high standards of educational achievement and to ensure the school is operating effectively. There are three key roles and responsibilities that governors fulfil, in order to achieve that goal are:

• To be involoved in strategic planning – identifying where the school needs to improve and agreeing priorities for improvement.
• To challenge the school to do better and support it in those efforts.
• To hold the headteacher to account for school performance and to provide an account to parents and the wider community.
