Governors

The role of the Governors is to support the Head and her team to deliver the goals of the School, namely to ensure our children are confident, happy and successful. This is achieved in a number of ways.

Firstly, the Governors set a clear vision and strategic plan for the School to provide the necessary facilities and environment to allow the children to succeed whilst ensuring that they remain happy, healthy and safe. This must be balanced with the need to ensure the ongoing financial viability of the School.

Secondly, as trustees of the charity, they are responsible for overseeing the performance of the School, to ensure not only are the goals for the pupils achieved but also the governance of the School is of the highest standard and that all legal and regulatory requirements are met.

Finally, they provide support and advice to the Head and her team in the role of a critical friend as and when required.

In order to deliver these responsibilities, governors are chosen with a wide range of skills and experience but the one attribute that is shared is a love of Godstowe and a determination and dedication to the School and its aim for all its pupils to be confident, happy and successful.
