To do this we provide challenge and support to the Head Teacher, drawing on our own knowledge and experience.
The Full Governing Body at Boughton Monchelsea meets once a term and oversees the strategic development of the school alongside the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team.
The Boughton Monchelsea governing body uses the circle model for its monitoring. The governors are split into monitoring pairs. The pairs then visit the school, to focus on their SIP (School Improvement Plan) area and look at progress against targets and challenge on behalf of the FGB and report back their findings.

The Full Governors’ meetings are closed, but anyone can apply to the Chair of Governors to attend as an observer.
