High Clarence Primary School

In all types of schools, governing bodies should have a strong focus on three core strategic funtions:

• Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff;
• Overseeing the financial performance of the scool and making sure its money is well spent.
