Governors
On behalf of Djanogly Strelley Academy’s Governing Body, welcome to our website. I hope you will spend some time viewing the wide variety of supportive information provided. Most importantly visit our school and talk to staff.
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Karen Swan and I am very proud to be the Chair of Governors here at Djanogly Strelley Academy (DSA).
What do the Governors do?
The role of the Governing Body is a strategic one, its key functions are to:
- work with the head of school to promote and maintain high standards of educational achievement
- set the aims and objectives for the Academy
- set the policies and targets for achieving those aims and objectives
- be a source of challenge and support to the Executive Headteacher and Heads of School (a critical friend)
- ensure oversight of the financial performance of the school and effective use of the school's resources
