OUR GOVERNORS

The Governing Body of Esher High School is responsible for determining the overall strategy of the School and its educational character by:

• Setting the aims and objectives for the school
• Setting policies and targets for achieving those aims and objectives
• Monitoring and evaluating the progress of the school in achieving those aims and objectives.
• Overseeing clear and objective governance of the school

Governors make a very valuable contribution to the success of the School. They contribute their collective skills and experience to the Governing Body in a non-executive capacity on an unpaid basis. Governors are appointed on the basis of their skills which will assist the School in its development and are representative of our local community and our Christian foundation.

The Governing Body also includes staff and parent members.  The Headteacher is also a Governor. The Governing Body does not manage the School nor organise its day-to-day affairs, as that is the job of the Headteacher, who is appointed by the Governing Body.  Full Governing Body meetings are the main forum for the Governing Body and these are held six times a year (or more if required) to discuss issues and make decisions. Each Governor is also a link governor, responsible for monitoring a particular area.

There is also an Admissions Committee which meets as required.
