What is a School Governor?

School governors are responsible for overseeing the management of the school. They focus on strategy, policy, budgeting, and staffing, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to children. 

Being a school governor is a commitment to attending governing board meetings which consider issues such as setting the school vision, mitigating financial risk and scrutinising educational outcomes. School governors are also involved in the school community, acting as critical friends to the headteacher and senior leaders. The main responsibilities of a school governor include: 

  • Ensuring strategic direction, vision and ethos.   
  • Holding school leaders to account.  
  • Overseeing financial performance and ensuring money is well spent. 

Our Governing Body consists of 7 Governors. Mrs J Hill is the Chair of Governors and she can be contacted through the school office on 01695724539 or by email at jhill@littledigmoor.lancs.sch.uuk

As well as the full Governing Body, we have a Curriculum and learning committee which is chaired by Mr K Davidson and a Resources committee chaired by Mrs R Russell.
