Effective Governance

Governors have well defined roles and support school leaders effectively to set the school’s strategic direction and form good links with the school community. They are proactive in evaluating their own effectiveness as a group. They identify and address key areas to make them a more effective team in supporting the school in their role as critical friends. Governors draw on their skills and experience purposefully for example to support leaders to allocate funding to reduce the impact of poverty and disadvantage on pupils’ learning and progress. They support pupils to access to a range of worthwhile learning experiences.
