Governing Body

Marlcliffe Governors

Schools have a Governing Body, made up of a group people who have a passion for education and to see that pupils receive the very best education they can.  A Governing Body is representative of the schools staff, parents, local authority and others who provide the skills the Governing Body needs to carry out its functions. 

They work as a collective group to meet the three statutory requirements:

• Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction;
• Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The full governing body meets 6 times of year. You can contact the governors via the school office or one of the Chair of the Governing Body, John Doherty by email: chairofgovernors@marlcliffe.sheffield.sch.uk
