Hermitage Local governing board

The local governing board meets three or four times a year. Their main purpose is to help raise the educational standards and performance of Hermitage by supporting the work of the Headteacher and school staff. We ensure that the school runs effectively, that quality teaching and learning is happening across the school.

The board makes strategic decisions on how the school is run and are answerable to parents, the wider community and - most importantly - the children who attend Hermitage. They govern, rather than manage, by giving direction and focus. The management of the school remains the responsibility of the Headteachers.

The governors are responsible for:

• Determining aims and priorities for Hermitage.
• Monitoring and evaluating the work of the school and setting targets.
• Ensuring high levels of attendance and good standards of pupil behaviour.
• Ensuring that all children in the schools have access to a broad and balanced curriculum, suitable to age, aptitude and ability, which prepares them for adult life.

If you are interested in becoming a Governor or have any suggestions or comments, please contact the Chair of governors via the school office email:  admin@hermitage.towerhamlets.sch.uk
