Governance

School trustees are essential in the effective running of a school.  Trustees provide strategic leadership and accountability for the school.  Their three key functions are:

• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent;
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its students;
• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.

Further information about the role of a school trustee can be found on the National Governance Association website.
