Governors

The Role Of A Governor

Our school governors are responsible for overseeing the management side of our school.

Bringing a wide range of skills from their professional lives, they work with our senior staff and teachers to help provide your children with the best education possible.

We currently have two parent vacancies and will be holidng an election in 2025. We are looking to recruit members of the wider community to our governing body, especially with skills in marketing. If you think you would be interested and have the skills and commitment needed please contact the school office for further details.

The governing body has two full governing body meetings each term. One focuses on school business management and the other on academic priorities.

Governors can be contacted via the chair through the school office. If anyone would like copies of publicly available documents related to the work of the governing body they should address that request through the school office.
