• To ensure that appropriate challenge is maintained on school development and improvement, and ensure appropriate targets are set;
• To be a critical friend to the school, in good times and bad, offering the school support and advice;
• To oversee financial performance of the school to ensure that its money is well spent;
• To help the school to be responsive to the needs of pupils, parents, staff and the wider community and make the school more accountable.

Norton-Juxta-Kempsey Local governing body is made up as follows:

• 2 Parent Governors, who are appointed by parents of pupils at the school
• 1 Headteacher
• 1 Staff Governor, who is appointed by school staff
• 3 Co-opted Governors, who are appointed by the governing body.
