Welcome to the Governors' Section

School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the Principal, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school's aims and policies.

Governors have three main roles:

• To provide strategic direction for the school

• To act as a critical friend to the Principal

• To ensure accountability

They also carry out a number of other important duties, which include:

• Determining how the school's budget is spent

• Hearing appeals and grievances

• Forming policy on the school's curriculum and collective worship

• Setting standards for pupil behaviour

• Making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe

• Setting and monitoring the school's aims and policies

• Staff recruitment and retention

We are incredibly fortunate to have a fantastic team of governors who have a real energy, enthusiasm and desire to help provide our children with the best possible education.
