Governors' Committees

How they operate:

Committees

• Carry out governing body delegated tasks
• Direct their chair and vice chair to:
  • Liase with other chair at chairs meeting to maintain work progress
  • Inform full governing body of progress of delegated and advisory responsibilities

Chairs

• Bring together the decisions of each committee and allow continual progress.
• Maintain the strategic overview (by listening to the works of all the committees and feeding this back to committees)
• Monitor and evaluate the governing body’s effectiveness and advise on training and development
• Ensure a consistent approach
• Inform the full governing body of the progress of each committee

Full Governing Body

• Debates and completes its non-delegated responsibilities
• Acts as a forum for each governor to be fully appraised of each of the committees’ work and the strategic overview
• Sets the priority and direction for each committee (within the School Development Plan)
• Sets the committees
• Sets/alters delegated responsibilities
• Makes final decision on all committees’ advisory responsibilities
