Our Governing Body

The school governors have important legal and strategic functions in the school’s management.  The day to day management of the school is the responsibility of the Headteacher.  Governors hold regular meetings and have an informed knowledge of the life of the school.  In addition each governor belongs to committees, Finance, Curriculum or Environment.  The role of the Environment Committee is to look at the buildings and Health and Safety issues.  Minutes are taken at every meeting.  After they have been approved at the next meeting they are available for inspection in a folder in Reception at school.

At present there are 14 members of the governing body, most appointed to serve for four years by the main interested groups listed below.  Governorship is open to anyone.  It is a significant commitment, but it is very rewarding.  If you have an interest in helping to provide the best possible education for our children, are willing to attend training courses and read documents, have time to attend meetings and to visit school to keep yourself up to date, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The present members of the governing body and their appointers are:
