Maynards Green Governors
What do Governors do?
The day-to-day management of the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher. The Governors support the Head in helping to shape the school's future direction and focus.
Governors do not work as individuals but as a team - the Governing Body - providing strategic leadership and accountability in the school. The governing body acts as a ‘critical friend’ to the Headteacher, with duties and responsibilities which include:
- setting the aims and objectives of the school
- setting policies in order to achieve aims and objectives
- setting targets for pupil achievement
- monitoring and evaluating the progress the school is making
- managing the school’s finances
- making sure the curriculum is balanced and broadly based
- appointing staff
- reviewing Headteacher performance and pay
A Governor’s term of office is four years, and they may be re-elected at the end of that term.
