Welcome to our Governors’ section.

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

We have also provided a Register of Governor Interests and an Annual Statement of Issues for your information.

The Governing Body has three main roles:

• To set the strategic direction of the school
• To act as a critical friend to the school
• To hold the school to account

We do this by meeting twice a term as a full governing body; at the first we receive and examine a detailed report from the Headteacher and in the second each of our committees report on how they have held the school to account.

In addition to these meetings and paperwork, governors visit the school to see it in action and offer their own professional or personal experience for the greater good of the school.

The day to day management of the school is delegated to the Headteacher and his or her staff.

Governors are unable to intervene in any individual school matter unless the Headteacher has been unable to satisfactorily resolve the matter of concern. Individual governors have no special authority; it is the governing body as a group which exercises its responsibilities.

At the September Governing Body meeting Margaret Jones was elected Chair of Governors.
