Our Governing Body 2020
The school has a board of governors comprised of representatives of the L.A., the county district and community councils, teaching staff, non-teaching staff, parents and co-opted members from the local community.
The governing body provides strategic leadership and accountability for our school. Its main functions are: overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure money is well spent, holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
They are actively involved with the organisation and running of the school and thus have close links with the headteacher and school. They monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making and act as a source of challenge and support to the headteacher.
