What is the role of the governing body?
The role of the governing body is a strategic one, its key functions are to set the aims and objectives for the school:
- set the aims and objectives of the school,
- set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives,
- set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives,
- monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives,
- be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher.
The Head Teacher is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school and the implementation of the strategic framework established by the governing body.
What does the governing body do?
All governors attend the termly Full Governor Body meetings. Governors are also members of committees that support the school. These committees are Resources (about the school finances), Strategic and Standards (academic outcomes, school targets and curriculum), and Health and Safety (keeping our school a safe and happy environment). Full details of committee membership, and link governors, can be found by clicking here: Longstone Governor Committee Membership.

What is a Foundation Governor?
Foundation Governors ensure that decisions made by the Governing Board uphold the Christian values of the school. Like all School Governors they act as critical partners to the school.
