The Governing Body

Burghclere’s governing body is made up of a team of volunteers including staff, parents and members of the local community. This diversity helps to ensure that the school benefits from a wide range of skills, interests and experiences.

What do Governors do?

The main role of Governors is:

• To ensure that the school has a clear vision, ethos and strategic direction.
• To hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.
• To oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
• To safeguard and promote the welfare of children who are pupils at the school.

The governing body meet regularly throughout the school year.  In addition, we have a delegated committee who meet each term to focus and report back to the governing body on:

• Finance and Business
