Local Governance Board
Governing bodies are the strategic leaders of schools and have a vital role in ensuring that every child gets the best possible education.
In schools, governing bodies should have a strong focus on 3 core strategic functions:
- Ensuring Clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding the Headteacher to account for educational performance of the school and its pupils; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
