Role of the Governing Board

The role of a governor is to contribute to the work of the Governing Board in ensuring high standards of achievement for all children.

The Main Responsibilities of a Governor 

  • As part of a team:
  • Setting the strategic direction of the school
  • Holding the leadership to account for the performance of the school
  • Making sure that resources are used well for the needs of the children

The Governing Board is made up of :

  • Co-opted Governors (appointed by the Directors)
  • Parent Governors (elected by Parents)
  • Staff Governors (elected by Staff)

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, positions, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

The Governors can be contacted at any time via a sealed envelope marked 'Private & Confidential' and delivered to the Company Secretary at the school office.
