Brady Primary School & Nursery Governing Body
About Our Governing Body
The Governing Body works in partnership with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team to provide strategic leadership and accountability. Governors are volunteers who are committed to ensuring the school delivers high-quality education and supports the wellbeing of all pupils.
The three core functions of the Governing Body are to:
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
- Oversee the financial performance of the school and ensure value for money
- Ensure statutory duties are fulfilled, including safeguarding
Governors do not manage the day-to-day running of the school — this is the responsibility of the Headteacher.
