Welcome to our Governors’ section.
Our governors wholeheartedly work with the head and deputy to lead the schools' vision. They are strongly focussed on high aspirations, equality of opportunity for all and how children are taught to live, learn and love one another together.
Governors work with school leaders as an effective team, bringing their skills and experience to their role, blending challenge and support in order to drive school improvement. They regularly visit school for both monitoring purposes and to engage with school activities including collective worship.
In order to support the effective operation of the school, the board has established two committees to which it has delegated certain of its powers and functions. These committees are detailed below.
