Governance
The main role of the Governing Body is to support the Headteacher and staff to reach targets as identified in the School Development Plan and the School Evaluation Form. These two documents highlight areas for development and strengths of the school. They help us to plan how to move towards excellence in all areas of school life.
Our legal duties include:-
- Safeguarding
- Teaching and Learning
The Governors meet at least once a term – their next meetings are on Thursday 2nd October 2025, Thursday 11th December 2025, Thursday 5th February 2026, Thursday 26th March 2026, Thursday 14th May 2026 and Wednesday 8th July 2026.
There are several categories of Governor, appointed by different groups that have an interest in the school. All Governors have equal voting rights.
