Role and Responsibilities of the Governing Board
The Governing Board consists of those appointed by the Noor Ul Islam Trust, parents of pupils currently attending the school, co-opted community governors who do not have children in the school, the Headteacher and a staff member.
Governors have statutory duties by which they are legally bound. The board is ultimately responsible for all matters relating to the school including teaching and learning, safeguarding, health and safety, staffing, premises and ensuring financial accountability. Governors play a strategic role; the head teacher is responsible for leading the school on a day-to-day basis.
Our duties include:
- Setting strategic direction, policies and objectives
- Approving the school budget
- Appointing, challenging and supporting the headteacher
Governors work closely with the headteacher and the senior leadership team to ensure that the school continues to improve and develop in all facets. Governors do this by working together to develop a long-term vision for the school as well as school development plans.
