Governors

School Governors take an overview of, and make important decisions about, the direction of the School.

The governing body has a range of responsibilities. These include setting the school’s aims and policies, enabling the school to achieve high educational standards, deciding on the best use of the school's finances, improving the school environment, and making sure that every pupil has access to all educational opportunities.

At Ashby School, Governors influence the vision and ethos of the school through their role in various committees. These committees deal with issues relating to Finance, Curriculum, Health and Safety, Personnel, School House (the school's boarding facility), and the school's Specialist Schools status.

Decisions made at these committee meetings – and at a termly meeting attended by all Governors - set the strategic direction of the school. Together with the Headteacher, Governors monitor the impact of school plans and policies and decide how school resources can best be used.

Anyone interested in becoming a Governor, or in finding out more about the work of the governing body, should contact Andrew Burton, Clerk to the Governors, at Ashby School during school hours.
