The Governors are like a Board of Directors whose main roles are (1) to plan the strategic direction of the school and (2) to monitor and evaluate the school’s progress, providing both encouragement and challenge.

Governors work as a team with the Headteacher to raise the standards of achievement for all pupils at the school. We meet twice a term as a full governing body, copies of the minutes of these meetings can be found on the notice board in Reception. The governors are ordinary people from the community who care passionately about giving our children the best a school can offer and ensuring each child develops to their full potential.  We come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have a mix of skills.  Our meetings are enjoyable but deal with serious issues. School governors are made up of; Parents, Staff, Local Education Authority representatives, Community representatives and Foundation (Church) representatives. Parent Governors are elected, by parents of the school, to serve for a period of four years.  They bring the views of parents but they speak and act as individuals.  All governors are encouraged to attend regular training sessions provided by the LEA and other providers.

Individual governors are appointed to monitor; Special Educational Needs, More Able Child, Early Years, Health & Safety, Community Cohesion and Finance. Non-staff Governors are also linked to an individual class in order to develop a working insight of the life of the school, to foster governor, staff and pupil relations, in addition to helping at many of the social activities organised by the Friends or school.

Details of the current governors can be found on the notice board in Reception and here on the website. They are contactable through the school office and many can also be found at the school gates at drop-off and collection times.
