The Role of the Governing Body

 

The governing body is responsible for the conduct of its school, and must promote high standards of educational achievement at the school. It is the school’s accountable body and as such:

• helps the school to set high standards by planning for the school's future and setting targets for school improvement
• is involved in the school improvement
• is  a critical friend to the school, offering support and advice
• helps the school respond to the needs of parents and the community
• makes the school accountable to the public for what it does
• works with the school on planning, developing policies and keeping the school under review
• exercises its responsibilities and powers in partnership with the Head teacher and staff

A school's governing body is a corporate body. This means it has a legal duties, powers and responsibilities. Governors can only act together, they cannot act individually. 

 

Financial Obligations in the diocese of Brentwood

As a Catholic Voluntary Aided School, the governors have a responsibility for the maintenance of the exterior of the school building and must find ten percent of costs towards any major building improvements, which are undertaken in and around the school.

 

Meetings

 

Each governor is a member of one or more committees and each committee meets two or three weeks before a full governing body. The full governing body is required to meet formally a minimum of three times a year. Meeting dates are usually set well in advance and meetings generally last between two and three hours.
