Our Governing Body

Governors work closely with headteachers, school staff and representatives from the local authority (LA).

The purpose of the Governing Body is to conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.  Its three core functions are:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure money is well spent.
