What is a Governor?

A Governor is a volunteer who cares about teaching, learning and children.  They represent the people with a key interest in the school, including parents, staff, the local community and the local authority.

Governors are:

• part of a very important team.
• support the Head-Teacher.
• accept responsibility for what the school does.
• attend meetings on a regular basis.
• attend school events.
• a link between parents, the local community and local authority.
• acts as a critical friend who supports the school but also challenges and asks
  questions about how the school works and the standards it achieves.
