Governing Body

The governing body of the school is responsible for its strategic framework by establishing aims, objectives and policies for staffing, finance, premises and curriculum. The Governors work closely with the Head Teacher and staff in setting standards, promoting school improvement and providing support.

We are very fortunate to have such a fantastic and talented group to support our school and we are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work that our Governors do!
