The Governing Body works in close partnership with the headteacher, staff and the local authority. Whilst the headteacher is, of course, responsible for the day to day running of the school, the governors are involved with such things as staffing, curriculum, school building and finance. It ensures the school functions well and maintains the proper range of academic and social objectives.
The co-chair of governors are Rebecca Carr and Debs Ridgewell, who can be contacted via the school office or chairofgovernors@manorpark.coventry.sch.uk
