Governors

The Governing Body plays a vital role in the leadership and life of our school. Working in partnership with the Principal and staff, governors help to set the vision and strategic direction of the school, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to achieve their very best.

Governors provide both support and challenge, holding the school to account for standards, safeguarding, and the use of resources. They bring a wide range of skills and experience from the local community, and together they act in the best interests of all pupils.

On this page you can find out more about our governors, their roles, and the important work they do to make sure our school continues to thrive.
