Governors

Welcome to the Governor page

The role of a school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community.  School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education.  Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the schools aims and policies. 

What is the role of a Governor?

Governors have 3 main roles: 

  • To provide strategic direction for the school.
  • To act as a critical friend to the Headteacher.
  • To ensure accountability.

They also carry out a number of other important duties, which include: 

  • Determining how the school’s budget is spent.
  • The appointing and dismissing of staff.
  • Hearing appeals and grievances.
  • Forming polices on the school’s curriculum and collective worship.
  • Setting standards of pupils’ behaviour and discipline.
  • Making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe.
  • Setting and monitoring the school’s aims and policies.

At Enderby Road Infant and Nursery School, we value and celebrate the diversity of our school community. We believe that a governing body composed of individuals with varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives strengthens our strategic leadership and supports better decision-making for all pupils.

In line with the Department for Education’s recommendation that schools must ensure that individuals cannot be identified, it has been agreed as a governing body not to publish the diversity information of the members of the Governing Body. However, our governing body remains committed to increasing representation, promoting equality, and ensuring that our decisions reflect the needs and strengths of our community. We regularly review our governance diversity profile to inform recruitment, training, and succession planning.
