Link Governor Responsibilities
Link Governor Roles 2023-24
All governors have a link governor role. To fulfil this role, they must formally visit the school to meet with relevant staff member(s) and, where possible and appropriate, see their area ‘in action’ within the school day. Governors are then expected to feedback to the rest of the Governing Body on what they learnt. The roles for 2023-24 have been confirmed following a strategic review of the school’s priorities.
