Ysgol y Ddraig Governing Body

The Governing Body has a statutory duty to support and challenge the school with an aim to promote high standards of educational achievement.

 

The responsibilities include:

​

● Setting strategic direction, objectives, targets and policies.

● Reviewing progress against the budget, plans and targets.

● Approving the school budget.

● Taking general responsibility for the conduct of the school.

● Making sure that the curriculum is balanced and broadly based.

● Participating in the appointment of senior staff and regulating staff conduct and discipline.

 

The Governing Body works in partnership with the Headteacher and other staff to achieve these aims. The day to day management of the school remains the responsibility of the Headteacher. The Governing Body comprises members of the local community, parents, staff and representatives of the Local Education Authority. This helps to ensure that the Governing Body has a sufficient diversity of views and experience, but does not mean that Governors of a particular category "represent" that group on the Governing Body. All Governors are voluntary and are elected for a 4 year term of office.
