HOLME ST CUTHBERT SCHOOL
What do governors do?
Governors offer strategic guidance, rather than getting involved in the operational aspects of a school. This involves:
- Working with other board members to plan the school’s strategic direction.
- Overseeing the school’s financial performance, ensuring money is well-spent.
- Holding the headteacher or school leadership to account.
A governor’s relationship with the school’s leadership team involves challenging existing processes to drive school improvement. Governors usually attend around five meetings per year.
