Our Governing Body
All schools have a Governing Body whose job it is to work with the Head Teacher, the Local Authority and the Diocese to ensure that pupils receive the best possible education at that establishment. Their main function is to raise standards by monitoring progress against the targets they set.
The governing body meets regularly and works with the head teacher and the staff to decide the school's aims and policies and to oversee the efficient running of the school. It is the Governor’s responsibility to ensure that all pupils have a full entitlement to the agreed curriculum and managing the school within its allocated budget.

Types of School Governor
The Governing Body at the Emmaus Federation is made up of 7 Governors, with all Governors representing both schools (Swineshead and Sutterton). All school Governors (with the exception of the Executive Head Teacher) are volunteers. Some governors represent the Local Authority, some represent the community, some are parents of children at the school and are elected by other parents and, as both of the schools in our federation are supported by the church, they also have representatives (called Foundation Governors). We also have two staff Governors (one elected from each school), the Heads of Schools are co-opted to Full Governors meetings as and when appropriate, and the Executive Head teacher is ex-officio, which means that it is part of their contract to attend ALL Governor meetings.
