So, what do Governors at Oakham do?

The Governing Body has three core functions: 

* Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;

* Holding leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and

* Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.         

We meet as a Full Governing Body every half term to review and discuss the details of school life. These meetings cover:

 - Teaching and Learning

 - Resources - including Finance, Staffing and Health and Safety

Statutory panels are convened and only meet when they are needed and these are:

 - Headteacher Performance Management

 - Pay Review 

 - Complaints

 - Staffing

 - Pupils

Governor Visits

Our governors regularly visit the school to meet with members of the SLT, Subject Leads and most importantly, our Oakham Learners!

Every governor visit is recorded on one of our 'Governor Visit' report forms and the key information is cascaded back to the other school governors in our Full Governing Body meetings, held across the school year.
