The respective roles and responsibilities of governing bodies and Headteachers are set out in the Education (School Government) (Terms of Reference) Regulations 2000: SI 2000/2122. The governing body must exercise its functions with a view to fulfilling a largely strategic role in the running of the school. It should establish the strategic framework by: setting aims and objectives for the school; adopting policies for achieving those aims and objectives; setting targets for achieving those aims and objectives. The governing body should monitor and evaluate progress of its strategy and regularly review the framework for the school in the light of that progress. When establishing the strategic framework and reviewing progress, the governing body should consider any advice given by the Headteacher and the School Improvement Partner. The school improvement plan and post Ofsted inspection action plan will generally provide the main mechanism for the strategic planning process. The governing body is responsible for raising standards through its three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability, and monitoring and evaluating school performance. The LA should support the school’s efforts to achieve continuous improvement. The relationship between schools and LAs is based upon intervention in inverse proportion to success, and maximum delegation of funding and responsibility to schools. These principles enable schools to operate largely autonomously. However, the governing body is accountable to the LA for the way the school is run. Governing bodies are required to set targets for their pupils’ performance in Key Stage 2 and 3 national curriculum tests, and public examinations at 15, to the Local Authority. At some special schools, no children will be expected to meet these levels. Since December 2001, schools that set “zero” targets have been required to set measurable performance targets at the relevant Key Stages using P scales or other performance criteria, where appropriate.
