What do the governors do?
The role of individual school governors The Governing Body has moved to a committee-less structure, this means that there is no sub-committees, each school governor takes an interest in at least one area of the school’s work, such as special educational needs, safeguarding, premises, finance or curriculum areas. Governors visit the school three times a year to be updated on and monitor their areas, then they report back to the main governing body.
