School Governors

The governors at Ladycross play a very important role in school. There are parent, co-opted and local authority governors. 

Governors work with schools to:

• Raise standards, achieve good pupil behaviour, ensure safeguarding and maintain high attendance
• Set the school’s strategy, policies and targets
• Decide how the school budget will be spent
• Ensure schools work with parents and the local community

The Governing Body meets every month as a single group rather than operating as committees.
