The Role of the Governing Body Governing bodies have a lot of responsibility for improving school performance and accountability, as well as several legal obligations to make sure that the school is achieving the best possible outcomes for its young people. The main duties and responsibilities of the governing body include: Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction. Holding the school’s leaders to account. Ensuring that the school’s finances are well managed. Working effectively as a team. Maintaining a good working relationship with the head teacher Understanding the school and its community.

Most governing bodies have a combination of the following types of governor: Parent Governors – elected by parents at the school Staff Governors – elected by staff at the school Head Teacher Local Authority Governors – recruited from a range of backgrounds and businesses to help communicate local policy Co-opted Governors – appointed by the governing body and are people who they feel have the relevant skills and experience to contribute to effective governance and the success of the school.
