The BOT is the Crown entity responsible for the governance and the control of the management of the school, and are accountable for the school's performance. The BOT is responsible for determining the strategic direction in which the school is heading (in consultation with parents, staff and students).
A board's main responsibility is to ensure that all students at their school are achieving well. This includes making sure that the principal and staff are supported and resourced to achieve high-quality teaching and learning. The board sets the direction of the school, with the main focus being student progress and achievement. The board does this by creating its charter, and strategic planning in consultation with you, your whānau and the community.
The principal is the board's 'chief executive' and manages the day to day operations of the school or kura in line with the board's direction and policies.

The principal and teaching staff use the New Zealand Curriculum and/or Te Marautanga o Aotearoa to create the local and classroom curricula (so that the intent of the strategic plan can be achieved). The board must take account of the Government’s statement of National Education and Learning Priorities (NELP) and carefully consider it.
