Ive looked on their website and she is on the board of Governors, though their is a main principle Governor, so will copy him in.
But she would only be elected as a staff governor by other staff.The headteacher is a member of the governing body by virtue of their office, though they can resign.
That is true, but the Governors may give various negotiating powers to the head. The head is often in effect CEO and CFO at once. It would be unusual, however for a head to be authorised to enter bag of fag packet deals with somebody's mate's pal's girlfriend's neighbour. Not that the head teacher being off on a frolic will likely aid the OP much. It might have some embarrassment value for negotiating a settlement.

In a secondary school there is usually aBursar who manages the financial transactions.

The Chair of the Governing body is usually in daily contact with the head teacher.
Good to know, thanks!Is this directly cribbed from Google Books, typos and all? Plenty of hits on there for “aBursar”
Private schools usually have Bursars (often retired military or naval officers with MBAs, for some reason), state schools often don't. In my experience, contact between head and governors varies from school to school. I am currently dealing with a school where the governing body is weak and does not monitor the head teacher much at all. This is causing various shenanigans.

Usual bot stuff
The Governor's Handbook states that for a State Maintained School (not an academy) the Headteacher may elect not to be a member of the governing board. This is not mentioned for academies or multi-academy trusts.https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...
The Chair of Governors will have as much contact with the headteacher as they deem necessary. Every day is extremely unlikely, most governors have everyday jobs, in my experience (as a governor) most chairs will meet with the head on average once a week.
Edited to add the school must have a finance manager who may be known as a bursar, but likely not.
Just send a letter back saying "you advised that the cables should be protected, but didn't the school didn't want the additional so decided against that course of action and subsequently you aren't liable."
I cant see how you are liable for something you never did and wasn't paid for. Your remit was to install CCTV, cable protection was never fitted and never paid for, it wasn't part of the job.

Just writing this now. writers block. Bit stumped on how brief to be or not to be.
Short is almost always best. Send me your draft. Or send me a stream of consciousness spiel (not of Molly Bloom length, please) and I will bang you out a short letter. My work diary has gone dead, so why not? SantaBarbara said:

I know. I was just highlighting that they were a member by default.
Teacher governor or perhaps they call them Staff governor now are usually elected by the staff of the school. They are separate to the head teacher eligibility to be on the GB.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
