Governing Body
AIMS OF THE GOVERNING BODY
The Governors of the school are people drawn from the local community and others
interested in the well being of the school.
The Head directs the running of the school and the Governing Body is responsible for monitoring the school’s progress. The Governors receive half termly reports from the Headteacher on the school and its activities, and consider information from the London Borough of Greenwich Education Authority on policy matters, the school resources and changes to premises.
The Governors are involved in appointing staff and act as an appeal body in cases when children have to be excluded. Governors take an active part in the school through curriculum and Quality Assurance visits and attendance at events and performances.
The composition of the school differs from county schools because The
John Roan School is voluntary controlled and as such belongs to the
Governors. The school is, however, fully funded by the London Borough
of Greenwich Education Authority.
