Our Role

The role of the Governing Body of Hope School is to ensure high standards of achievement for all children and young people in the school by:

• Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction;

• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and

• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

Governors are not involved in the day to day management of the school.

The full Governing Body meets twice a term and at other times if necessary. 

Hope School has two governors elected by parents, a governor elected by the staff and a governor nominated by the local authority. The head teacher has the right to be a governor. In addition there are ten governors co-opted by the Governing Body.

Free induction training is available to all governors and additional training covering various aspects of the role.
