Be a Governor
School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education.
What Governors do
School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. Governors are key to appointing staff within the school. As Barnacre Road School is an Academy and part of The Bay Learning Trust then specific responsibilities are given to the local governing body and other areas of accountability are the responsibility of the Trust Board. A scheme of delegation makes clear the responsibilities.
Who can become a governor?
Almost anyone over 18 years of age can become a governor. There are no particular qualifications or requirements, other than a willingness to give time to the role and a capacity for working with other people.
We have different categories of governor:
The type of governor you may become depends on your situation; however all governors have the same roles and responsibilities once part of the governing board.
