The governing body is a ‘critical friend’ of the school and, as such, seeks to ensure that the school fulfils its aims and objectives and meets statutory requirements.

Our governors are involved in overseeing curriculum policies, appointing staff, care and maintenance of the building, monitoring grounds and equipment and setting the budget. Governors also work closely with the school to create a School Development Plan and ensure it is acted upon.

School governors hold the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils. They oversee financial performance of the school, making sure its money is well spent. This is done through formal committee and full board meetings, regular visits to the school, and by talking to staff, pupils and parents.
