Parents' Information

Who are governors? School governors are the largest volunteer group in the country and are drawn from all walks of life. What we share as governors is a passionate belief that all children deserve to have access to an outstanding education. We are ordinary people who care about children's futures and use our individual skills to shape the development of our school.

What do governors do? The role of the governing body is a strategic one, its key functions are to: set the aims and objectives for the school set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives be a source of challenge and support to the Head teacher The Head teacher is responsible for the internal organisation, management and control of the school and the implementation of the strategic framework established by the governing body.
