The Board of Governors has an important strategic role to play in the management of the school. This is to help the school principal and staff, provide the best possible education for all of the pupils. Governors bring their experience, life skills and common sense to this task. In everything they do, they should aim to raise expectations of what can be achieved by all pupils and strengthen the involvement of parents and the community. This involves:
setting the school's vision and aims
establishing and maintaining the school’s ethos
setting the school’s plans and policies
monitoring and evaluating school performance
promoting self-evaluation to sustain school improvement
