The governors are a group of individuals, made up of parents, staff, members of the community (co-opted) and the Local Authority. Governors typically serve for four years, and will have a variety of responsibilities during this time. An effective governing body will have people from different backgrounds with mixed skills. Governors are not education experts – they are there to bring a fresh perspective.
In accordance with the Government’s requirement for all governing bodies, the 3 core strategic functions of Whitchurch Primary School’s Governing Body are:
