The governing body provides strategic management to the federated schools through challenge and support, ensuring the schools are accountable for its actions. It is made up of parents, school staff and other people from the local community working in partnership with the schools to ensure that the federation achieves its aims and is supported correctly to do this.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Working together with the head teacher to set the future direction for the schools and decide how the schools' budgets should be spent.
• Making decisions collectively on matters such as performance targets, school policies and the Schools' Improvement Plan.
• Reviewing progress against the School Improvement Plan and the schools' budget and objectives.  Monitoring the impact that the schools' policies have on pupil outcomes.

Becoming a Parent Governor

Becoming a Parent Governor

From time to time, governors step down from their position which leaves opportunities for parents or interested member of the local community to take up the role of a parent governor.

When such positions become available the school will send out election forms to parents allowing candidates to be proposed.

The governors have a wide range of responsibilities. The role requires commitment, attending regular meetings and undertaking some work outside the meetings to support the school. However, it is an extremely satisfying and important role.

If you are interested in becoming a parent governor, please feel free to approach members of the governing body or you can contact the South Gloucestershire Governor Development Team on 01454 863182.
