Every school has a governing body which represents the interests of the children, the local community and the wider public in the running of the school. Governors work with staff and the Local Authority to help secure the best possible outcomes for the children in their school.

Our Governing Body meets every term, and it is supported by the work of the Curriculum Committee and the Finance, Premises & Personnel Committee who also meet termly. All governors are encouraged to participate at Committee level.

The 2013 School Governance Regulations state that the three core functions of a governing body are -

• to ensure that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
• to ensure that the Headteacher performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the school
• to ensure the sound, proper and effective use of the school's financial resources

For all enquiries please contact the Clerk to the Governing Body, the Governing Body meets each half term, either as Committees or the Full Governing Body.  Governors can be contacted via the school office.

All correspondence should be addressed to:
