Hornby St. Margaret's C of E Primary School
School Governors
What do members of the School Governing Body do?
School governors offer strategic guidance, rather than getting involved in the operational aspects of a school. This involves:
- Working with other board members to plan the school’s strategic direction.
- Overseeing the school’s financial performance, ensuring money is well-spent.
- Holding the headteacher or school leadership to account.
A school governor’s relationship with the school’s leadership team involves challenging existing processes to drive school improvement. School governors usually attend around six meetings per year.

Since September 2023 we have been in a formal federation with Leck St Peter’s, known as the Lune Valley Federation of Leck St Peter’s and Hornby St Margaret’s Church of England Primary Schools. We are guided by our “Instrument of Government” which is the legal basis of any school governing body.

The school governors meet once a term for a Full Governing Body meeting and in between for sub committees that discuss the strategic development of both schools including the school curriculum, the upkeep and development of the school building and grounds, the school budget and finances as well as staffing issues.
