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.

All complaints must follow the complaints procedure set out in the school's complaints policy. Complaints about the Chair of Governors, any individual Governor or the whole Governing Body should be addressed to the Clerk to the Governing Body and submitted to the School Office.
