The Governing Board has an important part to play in raising school standards through its three key roles:

     - Setting strategic direction
     - Ensuring accountability
     - Monitoring and evaluating school performance

The Governing Board meets twice a term as a whole group - for a Full Governing Board meeting and a strategy    meeting. There are three additional, smaller committees which also meet at least termly:
                      - Finance committee
                      - Health, Safety and Wellbeing committee
                      - Standards and Curriculum committee

Through all of these meetings, Governors oversee the running of the school and hold the Headteacher and staff to account. Governors are responsible for ensuring the school is run efficiently and legally.

All governors are asked to complete a declaration of pecuniary and related business  interests. The register is reviewed annually and Governors sign an up to date  declaration. The attached document shows any business interests declared by the Governors, their terms of office and their attendance at Full Governing Body and committee meetings.

 For further information about Godwin's Governors, see their their personal profiles below.

Anyone needing to contact the Chair of Governors can do so via letter - this should be sealed in an envelope and left at the school office.
