Governors

Our Governing Board plays a key role in ensuring that the school provides the highest standards of education and care for all pupils. Governors work in partnership with the Headteacher and school leaders to set the strategic direction of the school, monitor performance, oversee financial management, and ensure that the school remains a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place to learn. 

Governors are volunteers who bring a wide range of skills, experience, and perspectives to support the school. They act as a critical friend, providing both support and challenge to help drive continuous improvement.
