Governors

Governing bodies

Governors are an integral part of the school leadership team. Their remit is to:

a) Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

b) Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and

c) Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

Sometimes the governing body is referred to as the critical friend of the school. It is a strategic role. Governors are not involved in the day to day running of the school: that is the responsibility of the headteacher.

The governors of Hindley All Saints' CE School believe it is important that the governing board reflects the diversity of our school community. Diverse boards promote inclusive school environments and provide diverse role models for our children and young people.

Data is currently collected on the diversity of the board, which is used to inform our recruitment, and training needs to ensure that there is always a diverse range of perspectives around the table to support robust decision making. However, due to our relatively small board we do not publish this data online as individual governors could be identified, and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
