The main role of the governing body at Marcham CE Primary School is to help raise the standards and performance of the school. Governors provide a strategic overview of leadership and accountability in school: they support and, at the same time, challenge the headteacher and staff by asking questions, gathering views and evidence, and deciding what is best for the school. They make important decisions on ethos, policies and practice and are key to the effectiveness of the school. Governors at Marcham are actively involved and get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing that they make a significant contribution to the promotion of high quality teaching, a love of learning and the benefits the children gain from their efforts.
