Welcome to the Governors' and Trustee's Information Page

As a Governing Board, we have responsibility for determining, monitoring and keeping under review the broad policies, plans and procedures within which the school operates.  To achieve this we work very closely with the head teacher and the whole senior leadership team.

Whilst much of the work we do is ‘behind the scenes’, we are keen to be accessible to staff and parents when necessary.

The strategic function of our Governing Board can be summarised as:

               1.       Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction

2.       Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff, and

3.       Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

The Governing Board is made up of the following members:

Former Governors (within the last twelve months)

** Interest of governors who have resigned or whose term has ended must remain on the log for 12 months after they left.

Our Governing Board structure is made up of the following committees:

               1.       Full Governing Board

2.       Staffing & Resources Committee

3.      Half Termly on-site visits

Governing Board Committees meeting approximately 5 to 6 times per year.  Dates of our meetings can be found by clicking the link here. There are other committees that meet on a less frequent or when required basis.
