School Governors
Our governors ensure that the school fulfils its statutory duties, delivers its shared vision and strategy and provides a quality education to all children. They hold leaders to account over the effective use of the school budget / resources. Attendance at meetings is good and there are strong links with teaching staff. The school’s strategic calendar provides opportunities for governor colleagues to visit and undertake link activities.
March 2026: We currently have 1 governor vacancy for a parent govenor.
