Who are school governors and what do they do?

School governors form the largest volunteer group in the United Kingdom.  Their role is strategic and they are responsible for:

• developing a vision and strategy for the school
• overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
• holding the school leadership to account to ensure that every pupil has the best possible education

The headteacher is responsible for the operational aspects of a school.
