Governors

The role of the governing body as set out by the Department of Education is to

  •  
    • Help the school to set high standards by planning for the future and setting targets for continual improvement
    • Be a critical friend to the school offering support and advice
    • Help the school respond to the needs of the parents and community
    • Make the school accountable to the public for what it does
    • Exercise its responsibilities in partnership with the head teacher and staff
    • Work with the school on planning, developing policies and keeping the school under review

The school governors at Chapel End are chosen by the Local Authority, staff, community and parents. All of our governors attend regular meetings and each bring their own individual experience, skills and expertise, whether that be financial, strategic planning or more practical input. Every governor is an invaluable member of the team!
