Offering advice and guidance
Our parent and community governors have a range of different backgrounds and experience and bring many beneficial perspectives to the life of the school. The role of the Governing Body is to act as a supportive but ‘critical friend’ offering advice and guidance to ensure the school:
reports National Curriculum assessment results to parents
strives to reach performance targets
plans the repair and maintenance of school buildings
manages the school budget
The Governing Body also appoints the Head Teacher and Deputy Head and approves and monitors the School Improvement Plan. The Governing Body meet at least once a term and has a Chair, Vice Chair and various sub committees. The Chair of Governors can be contacted by using our contact form.
