School governors provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. The role of the governing board is key to the effectiveness of a school. The 3 core functions of a governing board are: - Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction - Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff - Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent. Roose Community Primary School Governing Body Instrument of Government states that the body should consist of: 4 parent Governors 1 LA Governor 1 Staff Governor 1 Headteacher 3 co-opted Governors The term of office for all categories of Governors is 4 years ### Governors Instrument of Governance 32 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/files/documents/SKM_C25818121112370_(1).pdf) Who are our Governors? 245 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/files/documents/Governors_Sept_2026(1).pdf) Governors Declaration of Business & Pecuniary Interests. 96 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/files/documents/Pecuniary_interests_-_attendance_2025-26.pdf) Governing Body Diversity information 197 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/files/documents/GB_Diversity_2023(1).pdf) ### Our School - [Welcome](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/welcome) - [Ethos and Values](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/ethos-and-values) - [Meet the Staff ](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/staff) - [Governors](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/governors) - [Contact Us](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/contact) - [Our School Day](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/our-school-day) - [Wrap Around Care](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/breakfast-and-after-school-club) - [Admissions](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/about-us/admission-to-school) - [Term Dates](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Uniform](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/uniform) - [Home School Agreement](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/home-school-agreement) - [Photo Galleries](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/photo-galleries) ![Roose Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/roose-3/images/logo/Untitled_design_(24).png) #### Roose Community Primary School North Row Barrow-in-Furness Cumbria LA13 0HF 01229838841 #### Useful Links: - [Term Dates](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/nursery/admission) - [Newsletters](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/parents/newsletters) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/rooseprimaryschool) - [X](https://twitter.com/RoosePrimary) © Copyright 2025–2026 Roose Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.rooseprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
