Monitor and evaluate school performance

Governors monitor the priorities that have been set to ensure progress is being made by:

· measuring the school’s impact and progress towards its strategic objectives

· ensuring the required policies and procedures are in place and the school is operating effectively in line with these policies

· evaluating relevant data and feedback provided by school leaders and external reporting on all aspects of school performance

· asking challenging questions of school leaders to hold them to account

· holding the headteacher to account for standards, financial probity and compliance with agreed policies

· visiting the school to monitor implementation of the strategy and reporting back to the board

· ensuring that there are policies and procedures in place to deal with complaints effectively
