Our Governing Body

School governing bodies are responsible and accountable for all major decisions about the school and its future.

Governors have a legal responsibility to conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement. They set the school’s vision and strategic aims, monitor and evaluate performance acting as a critical friend to the headteacher and ensure the school is accountable to those it serves.

The Governing Body take an active part in school life, giving much of their valuable time to endorse the school’s aims and objectives. The Governors are representatives of our school, the local community, parents and school staff. They bring a range of expertise and knowledge to Governing Body meetings and oversee the organisation, curriculum and budget of the school. The governors meet each term and more often at sub-committee level.
