School governors

In England, school governors are volunteers from the school's community. They must be aged 18 or over at the date of their election or appointment. They have three key roles of setting strategic direction, ensuring accountability and monitoring and evaluating school performance. Each school can write its own constitution for its parent council.Governors play an important role in the life of a school as they are accountable for, and have a responsibility for, the work of the school.
