Kilby St Mary's Governing Body

Kilby St Mary’s Church of England Primary School’s Governing Body has a legal responsibility for governance of the school and works with the Headteacher and other school staff to promote high standards of educational achievement at the school.

The governing body has three key roles: setting strategic direction, holding executive leaders to account and overseeing financial performance.

It is responsible and accountable for all major decisions about the school and its future including:

 

  • setting the school’s mission, vision and values
    • setting strategic direction, objectives, targets and policies
    • reviewing progress against the budget, plans and targets
    • approving the school budget
    • acting as a critical friend to the Headteacher by providing support and challenge
    • appointing the Headteacher
    • ensuring the school is accountable to those it serves
