The purpose of having a Governing Board is to:
- help the school to set high standards by planning for the school's future and setting targets for school improvement
- keep the pressure up on school improvement
- be a critical friend to the school, offering support and advice
- help the school respond to the needs of parents and the community
- make the school accountable to the public for what it does
- work with the school on planning, developing policies and keeping the school under review
exercise its responsibilities and powers in partnership with the head-teachers and staff - not intervene in the day-to-day management of the school unless there are weaknesses in the school, when it then has a duty to take action.
All maintained schools have a duty to publish certain information online. Please find below details about:
