It is stated in the Governance Handbook that all boards, no matter what type of schools or how many schools they govern, have three core functions:
• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
• Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
• Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.
More information on the role and how to become a governor can be found by following Cumbria Governor Support Services link.
The term of office for all governors is 4 years and declaration of interests are submitted at each meeting. Due to the new structure of the board in 2023, responsibilities are fluid and training is based around personal interests.
