Governing Body of the Holt House and Carterknowle Schools Federation

Governors are responsible for making sure the school provides a good quality education for all pupils. Keeping educational standards in school high is always the governors key priority. Governors do not take individual action on issues; they work as a team.  Governors agree and uphold school policy.  They promote effective ways of teaching and learning when setting the school aims and policies. They do this together with the head teacher, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school.
