Our school governors work with the school to support the education of your children. They are drawn from all parts of the local community and it is their role to ensure that high standards are maintained throughout all aspects of your child’s education and well-being.
With the headteacher and staff of the school, they contribute to school improvement in the following ways.
The Governing Board currently comprises a total of 15 governors who are appointed for three years:
