Coppice Performing Arts School

Responsibilities

The governing body has a statutory duty to conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement, acting in a strategic manner to help direct the development of the school through effective management of its resources.

School governors are drawn from different parts of the community, such as parents, the Staff, the Local Education Authority, the Community and other groups. This helps to ensure that the governing body has sufficient diversity of views and experience but does not mean that governors of a particular category "represent" that group on the governing body. For example, Parent Governors do not act as a representative of the parents at the school and do not report back to them.
