What are the key roles of school governors and school boards? (Select THREE)
Correct Answers: Setting the strategic direction of the school; Ensuring accountability; Monitoring and evaluating school performance
School governors and school boards have three key roles:
1. Setting the strategic direction of the school — determining the school's vision, values and long-term objectives 2. Ensuring accountability — holding the headteacher and senior leadership to account for educational standards and pupil outcomes 3. Monitoring and evaluating school performance — reviewing data, visiting the school, and scrutinising results and progress
Governors are volunteers drawn from the local community, parents, staff and local authority. They are not responsible for providing funding for all students — that is the role of the local authority and government.
