Governors

The School's Governing Body support and challenge the Headteacher and senior leadership to ensure that the school is run effectively for the benefit of all the children. They are responsible for monitoring expenditure, ensuring polices and procedures are in line with regulations, personnel issues and other important aspects of school life.  They bring with them experience of the wider community from all walks of life.

They meet as a Full Governing Body twice each term; one meeting has a Business and Personnel focus, the other Strategic and Pupils. Click on the links below to see minutes of recent meetings (with any confidential items  removed):
