Governors

The Governors work in conjunction with the headteacher and members of the school staff to ensure that schools are teaching our children's successfully and raising standards. Governing bodies exist so that schools are publicly accountable to parents, the LA and the local community about what they do, the results they receive, and how the resources are allocated.
