Governors have three main roles:

The Strategic Role

• Having a vision for the school
• Developing aims for the school
• Forward planning so that all pupils can achieve the very best they can

The 'Critical Friend' Role

• Monitoring and evaluating the school's work
• Visiting the school
• Ensuring that all meetings are effective by preparing questions and being well read on information given prior to meetings

The Accountability Role

• Reporting on progress
• Reciprocal accountability between school leaders and governors
• The accountability to parents and the community they serve

School Governors make important collective decisions and are answerable to the parents and the community.
