Instrument of government (statutory)

Applies to

Maintained Schools

Background

The instrument of government is the document that records the name of the school and the constitution of its governing board. The governing board prepares the draft instrument of government and submits it to the local authority to consider whether it complies with the relevant legal requirements. The local authority must supply a copy of the instrument of government to each member of the governing board.

Approval

Full governing board.

Review frequency

The governing board or local authority can review and vary the instrument of government at any time after it is made.
