    Our governors are volunteers and parents, professionals and members of the community who are responsible for supporting the long-term strategic direction of the school.

    The governing body have statutory responsibilities, including agreeing the school budget and expenditure and ensuring key policies are in place. The role is one of 'critical friend', asking questions and providing challenge and support in any areas in which they have expertise.

    • Deciding on how the resources of the schools are best used
    • Planning ahead so that the performance of our children and school continue to improve
    • Making sure the school buildings are welcoming and safe
    • Celebrating the school's success
