There are four elements to the role of chair of the governing body:

• Leading and developing the team of governors

• Building the relationship with the headteacher and ensuring accountability

• Together with the headteacher, leading school improvement

In summary, the chair should facilitate the governing body working as a team to challenge, support and contribute to the strategic leadership of the school.
