Meet the Governors

The purpose of the Governing Body is to provide strategic leadership and accountability in schools. It has three key functions:

  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
  • Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.


Our Governing Body meets at least once a term for a Full Governing Body meeting. In addition, Governors are members of either the Quality of Education Committee or the Resources Committee. These committees also meet once a term.

Some Governors are linked to key targets within the School Development Plan and/or have individual responsibilities in school e.g. Safeguarding, SEND, Pupil Premium etc.  Our Governors carry out regular visits and meet with the Headteacher and/or individual staff members to discuss progress and development in their particular areas. Reports are presented to the Full Governing Body.
