The Governor's role at Holyrood
"The role of the Governor is largely a thinking and questioning role, not a doing role."
As a member of the largest voluntary body in the UK, school governors have three core functions in order to provide the highest standards of education:
The Governors at Holyrood attend a Local Governance Committee (LGC) meeting at least once a term and in addition some serve on one or more of the committees that advise the Board of Uffculme Academy Trust Directors in specific areas, for example:
Governors have the facility and responsibility to visit the Academy to witness its day-to-day activities, in order to assess and understand the progress made and to monitor issues identified within the Academy Improvement Plan. These visits are arranged in conjunction with the relevant members of the Senior Leadership Team and are structured in a way that is not disruptive to the Academy’s daily activities.
