Our School Governors

What do Governors do?

Governors are often described as being critical friends of the School. They represent the local community on the governing body and represent the School within the local community.

School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children’s education. Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. Our Governors bring their own specialist knowledge and experience to help our school thrive.

At Woldgate School and Sixth Form College we believe that Governors should:

• Put the pupil at the centre of our thinking.
• Represent the School within the local community.
• Represent the local community on the governing body.
• Attend meetings.
• Undertake training and development.
• Visit the School.
• Be attached to an area of the School’s work.
• Participate in decisions of the governing body.
• Accept joint responsibility for decisions of the governing body.
• Follow the procedures adopted by the School.
• Maintain confidentiality when necessary.
• Fulfil our statutory duties.
