Meet the Governors

Meet the Governors

The governing body works with the Headteacher of the school to promote: consistently high standards of education, a clear vision of the ethos and aims, and a clear strategic plan of our outcomes and performance for the school. The governing body has a financial oversight of the school and the effective use of all of the resources to hand. They are an active part of our school life, ensuring that everything that can be done for the children is fulfilled to it's greatest potential.

The Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day procedures and directions of the school, while the governors are involved in policy decisions and long term strategic direction development. The team have responsibility of the building, appointments of staff, policies, organisation, conduct of the school and the budget. A full governing body meeting is held at least once a month.

Please see below our amazing governing body and ways to contact them.
