There is a Governor's visit book in the school entrance where all visits and meetings are recorded. This allows us to look at how the Governors are contributing to the school, and what we could do differently. At the end of each academic year we spent time looking at how we can be more effective as a Governing Body in the future.
The Full Governing Body has three main responsibilities: setting the strategic direction, acting as a ‘critical friend’ and being accountable to the parents and the community.
