• ensuring there is clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

• overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

Governors must also ensure that the governing body complies with all legal and statutory requirements.

• The opportunity to develop new skills and to strengthen existing ones.
• An opportunity to strengthen your own CV for future work opportunities or voluntary roles
• The opportunity to practise work talents. As part of a team, being a school governor will give you the opportunity to work with a wide range of people from a variety of social, cultural and religious backgrounds.
