St Hugh’s Governor Roles

In line with current recommendations, the Governing Body comprises four types of Governors:

Local Authority Governors
Parent Governors
Community Governors
School Based Governors (Head Teacher, Teaching staff representative, Non-Teaching staff representative)
From among these Governor types, the Governors select individuals to specified roles. In addition, Governors volunteer to be the Link Governor for a range of specialist areas within school.

Chair
Vice-Chair
Sub-Committee Chairs
Link Governors in the following areas:- Careers, Safeguarding, Governor training, Staff and Pupil Wellbeing, Curriculum, Health and Safety, Attendance and Inclusion
Buddy Governors (mentor support for each other)
All Governors serve for a term of four years. Governors volunteer annually to serve on a specific Committee.

In deciding which Governors will sit on each committee the full Governing Body are mindful of needing a relatively equal number of Governors on each committee and of relative skills and experiences of Governors. Governors in specific roles serve in this capacity for a period of one year.

Governor roles are reviewed each year and re-assigned where necessary or appropriate. The Chair, Vice Chair and Committee Chair roles are elected roles.
