Governors work as part of a team supporting a school and the Headteacher to decide school policy, help recruit staff and manage budgets.
The governors meet as a full body 4 times per year where they are updated on the performance and status of aspects of the school.
Additionally individual governors sit on one or more of the various sub-committees. These meetings are usually 4 times per year, just prior to the full governors meetings.
