School Governors
Every school in the UK has a team of governors which is made up of parents, teachers and people from the local community. School governors are chosen by the existing governing body, by other parents from the school, or by other members of staff from the school.
The role of school governors:
Set the vision for the school’s future
Decide what is taught
Set standards of behaviour
Interview and select staff
Decide how the school budget is spent
Challenge the school leaders about performance
