The role of the Governors is very wide and covers all aspects of school life. To enable us to manage all this effectively we all have different areas of interest/responsibility, so each governor will generally arrange monitoring visits or other activities to look into their area of responsibility and produce a report for the rest of the governors. Some areas, such as pupil progress and finances, are monitored by the whole group.
The main areas of responsibility are:

• To share in the vision and ethos and strategic direction of the school
• The safety, well-being and security of pupils
• To monitor the effectiveness of the school and contribute to development plans.
• To ensure each child makes good progress in all aspects of their education
• To monitor the appraisal of staff and ensure staff are respected and given every opportunity to further their educational practice and career.
• To monitor the finances of the school
• To make sure the school premises are well managed, safe and secure and that the children enjoy a really good learning environment.
• To agree all policies and monitor their implementation
• To be involved in the employment of staff and monitor the implementation of current policies in relation to employment
• To monitor the use of Pupil Premium money.
