Foundation governors are appointed by the Bishop to serve as his representatives on the governing body of diocesan schools to ensure the Church’s mission is upheld. Governors have oversight of the curriculum and the appointment of staff and are accountable for the performance of the school. They have a strategic role to play as well as acting as a critical friend to the head teacher. The governing body needs people with a mixture of skills and experience and would welcome anyone who can offer their own perspective and time. Training is provided to help governors fulfil this very important role.
