At Holy Trinity C of E our  governing body has a strong focus on three core strategic functions:

a) Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction,

b) Holding the executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, the performance management of staff; and

c) Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

These core functions underpin the work that they do and the way that they carry out that work.

Governors Statutory Responsibilities and Functions

The core functions of the governing body are but are not limited to ensuring: 

• that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined 

• that the headteacher performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the school

• the sound, proper and effective use of the school's financial resources 

A governing body and its governors must, as required by The School Governance (Roles, Procedures and Allowances) (England) Regulations 2013, regulation 6(2): 

• act with integrity, objectivity and honesty and in the best interests of the school 

• be open about the decisions they make and the actions they take and shall be prepared to explain their decisions and actions to interested parties 

The governing body also has legislative responsibility and strategic oversight for the school's safeguarding arrangements.
