Governors

If you get on with people, would like to learn something new and give something back to the community, then being a school governor may be for you.

 

A Governor's role

As a governor you work as a volunteer and have an interest in educating or teaching, who represents members of the community and the schools' staff. You are part of a team who is responsible for everything that a school accomplishes, provide support for the school, and you also give critical views on the schools' standards and management issues.

Every school has a governing body. It normally includes:

  • Parent-governor
  • Governors of the Local Education Authority
  • Community Governors
  • Additional Community Governors
  • Foundation Governors
  • Teacher-governor
  • Staff-governor
