Have you ever wondered about the role of school governors and what happens during school governor body meetings?

Who can be a school governor?

Anyone can be a school governor, as long as you are over 18 and show an interest in the school, what is happening in education and the local community. You should also have enough time to attend governing body meetings and fully commit to the role.

• Parent governors: are governors with children at the school. They are elected onto the governing body by other parents
• Staff governors: the headteacher and/or deputy headteacher will always attend governing body meetings. Also there is often a representative from the teaching staff. The headteacher will prepare and circulate reports to the full governing body in advance of meetings. Staff governors provide useful operational knowledge of the day-to-day workings of the school
• Foundation governors: are on the governing bodies of both aided and controlled church schools. They are appointed by the school’s founding body, which in most cases is the church.
• Local authority governors: are nominated by the local authority but appointed by the governing body. The local authority can nominate any eligible person as a local authority governor, but it is for the governing body to decide whether this nominee has the skills to contribute to the effective governance and success of the school
• Co-opted governors: are appointed onto the governing body by the other members because they possess a particular skill which can contribute to the effective governance and success of the school
