Governors

The Governors

School governors are volunteers who help to run the school. Most schools work with a group of school governors – together they are called the ‘governing body’. They are involved in decisions about all aspects of managing the school – such as running buildings and budgets, supporting staff and setting standards of school discipline.

 

Governors also help to make big decisions about the school’s long-term goals. They support headteachers, but also ask questions and make sure the headteacher is taking the school in the right direction.

 

 

If you are interested in becoming a governor, talk to the current chair of governors who leads the board. When there is a vacancy for a parent governor, all parents will be informed and you will have a chance to stand for election.

 

Before you put yourself forward, talk to your employer. Many employers recognise the role of school governor as useful work experience and may offer paid leave for governor duties.

 

Horton School Governors have now federated with St John’s Mead Primary School Governors and are now called Sodbury Vale Governing Body.
