School governors play an essential part in the life of the school as they are responsible for helping to ensure the best possible education for the students. This involves:
Authority Governors are nominated by the Local Authority but appointed by the governing body. They are appointed if it is felt they have the skills required to contribute to effective governance within the school. Co-opted Governors are appointed by the governing body. They are individuals within the schools community who it is felt have the skills required to contribute to effective governance. For example individuals from the local business community Parent Governors are elected by the parents of children at the school. At the time of their election they usually have a child at the school.
