Together with our Principal, they are responsible for making sure our school provides a good quality education. The governors make decisions which are in the best interests of the children at school, bringing their own skills and experience to support the effective running of the MFG. They work closely with the Principal and the rest of the staff, although much of this goes on in meetings and isn’t necessarily seen by the rest of the school community. At the MFG we are particularly fortunate that a number of our governors are able to spend time regularly helping in school with the children’s learning and talking with parents. Others use their skills in different ways – for example helping to write policies concerned with the school buildings or Health and Safety.
