The Governing Body
We are extremely proud of our hard working Governing Body. All our governors are committed to improving positive outcomes for our pupils.
Their core responsibilities are:
- Ensuring accountability
- Acting as a ‘critical friend’ to the Head Teacher
- Monitoring and evaluating the school’s progress
- Budgetary allocation and control
- Planning for the long term future of the school
- Setting the school’s aims and values
- Appointing senior members of staff including the Head Teacher
The governing body is split into committees. Each committee has their own responsibility, for example teaching and learning, finance and staffing and health, safety and premises. These committees meet separately from the main governing body to discuss relevant issues in more detail. Discussion is then fed back at a full governing body meeting. Please see the table below showing the structure of our governing body.
