Governors' information and duties
Our Governors all have a special connection with Biggin C of E Primary School and want the very best outcomes for all children at the school. They work hard on a voluntary basis to make sure school offers an excellent education for all children at the school and strives to improve.
Although the Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day running of the school, Governors have a legal responsibility to make sure the school is well-run and set the strategic direction, policies, budget and staffing levels. They work with the Headteacher to hold her to account and both support and challenge decisions and outcomes.
Governors are committed to attending meetings, visiting school and getting involved in the wider school community to act as a 'critical friend'. Governors bring a wide range of skills and experience from their professional lives to the decision-making of the Governing Body which is of great benefit to school.
