What do Governors do?
- Together with the headteacher, they are responsible for making sure our school provides good quality education.
- They provide challenge and support to the headteacher and the leadership team, drawing on their knowledge and experience outside of the school environment.
- They make decisions together on matters such as performance, targets, school policies and school development plans.
- They oversee the school budget and staffing as well as monitor the impact of policies.
- They report on school achievements and respond to inspection recommendations.
- They hear appeals from pupils and staff and consider complaints.
- They ask searching questions and act as a “critical friend” to the school leadership team.
If you need to contact the Governors directly, please speak to a Parent Governor, or contact the Chair on chair@theforestfederation.cambs.sch.uk
