Link Governor Responsibilities
Link Governor Roles 2023-24
Most governors have a link governor role which involves them formally visiting 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 give feedback to the rest of the Governing Body on what they saw and learnt. The roles align with current school priorities.
The Teaching and Learning Committee (a sub Committee of the Full Governing Body) are collectively responsible for monitoring the school’s quality of education, which includes curriculum intent, implementation and impact.
The Full Governing Body reviews the school’s annual data results at a dedicated meeting at the start of the school year. Data and assessment discussions and monitoring, including understanding the processes, key messages and actions or provisions subsequently put in place, then continue primarily via the Teaching and Learning Committee but also in ad hoc discussions with school staff as required.
