The Roles of School Governors

The School Governors offer strategic guidance to our school.

This involves:

• Working with other board members to plan the school’s strategic direction.
• Acting as a critical friend to the Headteacher and holding the Headteacher and Senior leadership Team to account.
• Overseeing the School’s financial performance, ensuring money is well spent.

 The Governing Body consists of:

• Local Authority Governor who is appointed by Enfield Local Authority
• Parent Governors elected by parents of pupils at Russet House School
• Staff Governor elected by school staff
• Co-opted Governors who volunteer to support the school by joining the Governing Body

All Governors attend the Full Governing Body Meetings, in addition there are two sub-committees and Governor are part of one or more of these.

The Russet House Governing Body is a diverse and multi-skilled group of individuals who collectively provide support and challenge.
