Governors

Our governing body is responsible for the strategic management of the school and will make decisions about a wide range of issues.

The core responsibilities involve:

• Ensuring accountability; holding staff to account when standards are less than ‘good’
• Acting as a ‘critical friend’ to the leadership of the school
• Monitoring and evaluating the school’s progress
• Budgetary allocation and control
• Planning for the long term future of the school
• Setting the school’s aims and values
• Appointing senior members of staff including the Headteacher

If you are interested in becoming a governor, please contact the clerk, Lesley Connell, for further information  clerk@harrowbarrow.cornwall.sch.uk
