Os governadores escolares têm a responsabilidade central de supervisionar a liderança e direção de sua escola e melhorar os padrões.
Enquanto o diretor é responsável pela gestão diária da escola, o papel do Conselho de Administração é fornecer liderança estratégica e atuar como um "amigo crítico", apoiando o trabalho do diretor e de outros funcionários.
Os membros são osguardiões da governança do Trust com papel limitado e distante, 'olhos nas mãos' e estão mantendo uma vez por ano os curadores para prestar contas da governança efetiva do Trust na Assembleia Geral Anual (AGM).
O Conselho de Administração tem o papel de definir as metas de desempenho escolar, decidir sobre as prioridades de gastos, recrutar pessoal e monitorar o progresso.
Os governadores também desempenham um papel formal e informal ao lidar com as reclamações dos pais. Os pais podem entrar em contato com os governadores por meio do secretário para os governadores [funcionario@westburyparkschool.co.uk]
