Governing bodies are made up of all sorts of people who contribute in many different and complementary ways.
Almost anyone can be a school governor, unless they are:
Governing bodies have a very wide range of powers and responsibilities. They include supporting the school in five key areas:
In an effective governing body, governors make strategic decisions:
Governors at Longfleet:
Governors are NOT responsible for the day-to-day running of the school. This is the job of the Headteacher and staff.
If you would like to speak to the Chair of Governors please send a request via the school office. Governors will usually also be available on Parents Evenings.
The governing body includes parents and professionals from all walks of life. If you think you would like to help the school evolve, the documents below give an introduction to the role and responsibilities of Governors.
More general information about being a governor can be found on these websites here:

(Originally published by the Nolan Committee: The Committee on Standards in Public Life was established by the then Prime Minister in October 1994, under the Chairmanship of Lord Nolan, to consider standards of conduct in various areas of public life, and to make recommendations).
Selflessness - Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends.
Integrity - Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might seek to influence them in the performance of their official duties.
Objectivity - In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit.
Accountability - Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.
Openness - Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands.
Honesty - Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest.
Leadership - Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.
It is important that the governors and staff not only act impartially, but are also seen to act impartially. In May 1996 the Nolan Committee published a report on standards in public life as applicable to local public spending bodies, including schools. The report identified seven principles, which should be applied in public life. These are: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. One important means by which a school may demonstrate that it is applying these principles is by maintaining a Register of Business Interests.
