Role of the Governing Board
Role of the Governing Board
Active and involved Governors play a vital role in the success of schools. They are not involved in the operations or management of the school but instead play a strategic and oversight role.
Our Governing Board;
Contribute to the strategic discussions at governing body meetings
Hold the senior leaders to account by monitoring the school’s performance
Ensure the school staff have the resources and support they require to do their jobs well
Ensures there are clear and ambitious strategic priorities and targets for the school
For more details on the role of School Governor please visit the National Governors’s Association
Carterton Community College is supported by an active and involved Governing Board. We are lucky to have a diverse range of skills and experience within the membership that can bring true challenge to the School. If you are interested in the work of the Governing Board please contact the Clerk using the email address below.

Committee Structure
The Governing Board meets a minimum of 3 times per year as a Full Governing Board. However, the Governors also hold other meetings that allow them to scrutinise and support the work of the school in more detail. Committees are an important part of the in depth work of the Governing Board. The makeup of the committees is as follows.
