Governance & Scheme of Delegation (Academies)

The role of governor

Within England, there are over 300,000 School/Academy Governors, who form the largest volunteer force in the country. The roles of individual Governors, and subsequently members of a Governing Body, work collectively to perform a strategic role and carry out key functions such as:

• Discuss and set the aims and objectives for the Academy.
• Set the required policies for achieving those aims and objectives.
• Set the required targets for achieving those aims and objectives.
• Monitor and evaluate the progress that the Academy is making towards it’s set aims and objectives.

Finally the role of role of the Academy Governor is to be a source of challenge and support to the Executive Principal, i.e. a 'critical friend.'
