Academy Advisory Body

Core Functions and Strategic Duties

The three core functions of a governing body as indicated in Ofsted’s inspection criteria are:

• setting a strategic direction for the school,
• creating robust accountability,
• ensuring financial probity.

Governing bodies have a number of statutory duties that need to be fulfilled. One duty is to ensure that key policies have been approved and reviewed on a regular basis. The key policies can be found in the Department for Education (DfE) list of Statutory Policies.  Governing bodies are also advised to use a handbook as a key reference tool – the DfE Governance Handbook.
