Governors

The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community.  School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school's aims and policies.

Our Current School Governors

Governors have three main roles:

• To provide strategic direction for the school
• To act as a critical friend to the headteacher
• To ensure accountability  

They also carry out a number of other important duties, which include:

• Determining how the school's budget is spent
• The appointing and dismissing of staff
• Hearing appeals and grievances
• Forming policy on the school's curriculum and collective worship
• Setting standards for pupils' behaviour and discipline
• Making sure school buildings are welcoming and safe
• Setting and monitoring the school's aims and policies  
• Governors have voting rights as a full governing body and within their various committees.

If you are interested in knowing more about the governors, becoming a governor or wish to contact a governor then please get in touch via the school office. Correspondence is normally directed to the Chair or Vice-Chair unless it is specifically addressed to another governor.
