The Governing Body
School Governors are members of a school's Governing Body; they have responsibility for raising school standards through their three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and acting as a critical friend. They are the largest volunteer force in the country.
Here at Silver Springs, the Governing Body consists of governors from differing areas,
- Parents - elected by other parents.
- Staff - elected by other members of staff.
- Co-Opted - appointed by the Trust.
Whether appointed or elected, each governor has a term of office, which is a maximum of four years before they have to seek re-election/re-appointment.
Our Governing Board meet every half term.
Being a Governor is voluntary and as such, Governors do not receive any payment for their work. Training is given for every aspect of the role and is delivered locally.
