Governance

Back

School Governors offer strategic guidance, rather than getting involved in the operational aspects of a school. This involves: 

  • Working with other Governors and Board members to plan the school’s strategic direction. 
  • Overseeing the school’s financial performance, ensuring money is well-spent. 
  • Holding the headteacher or school leadership to account. 

A school governor’s relationship with the school’s leadership team involves challenging existing processes to drive school improvement. Being a school governor requires drive and commitment, but individuals say they enjoy many professional and personal rewards, including career development opportunities and the chance to support young people’s futures. 

Temple Grove Academy has a Local Governing Body (LGB) and Finance & General Purposes (F&GP) sub-committee.
