What is the school Governing Body?
The school governing body is a group of people who work closely with the Headteacher and senior staff to ensure that pupils get a good balanced education. The role of the governing body is to represent the community in the running of the school. Every school is required to have a governing body, and there are statutory roles and responsibilities that governors have to fulfil.
