Governors
A school’s governing body has three core functions:
- Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
- Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the performance management of staff
- Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent
The Governing Body of Cardinal Langley RC High School fulfils its role through a committee structure. Each committee has its own Terms of Reference (TOR) which establish levels of delegation, membership and purpose. The three main committees are:
Curriculum and Pupils’ Issues (C&P) Committee – all areas relating to pupils and learning
Resources Committee – all areas relating to staffing, finance, premises and health and safety
Standards Committee – in-depth consideration and analysis of school performance and data
All Governors who are not staff members are eligible to sit on any of the following occasional committees, as standard:
- Pupil Discipline Committee
- Personnel & Pay Implementation Committee
- Personnel Appeals Committee
- Complaints Committee
- Pupil Admissions Committee
