The Governors take responsibility, with the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team, for seeing that the School is properly run. They meet regularly to take decisions about the curriculum, the maintenance of the school building, the appointment of staff, and the spending of the school budget.

 

The School’s governing body consists of parents, school staff, Local Education Authority

Representatives and Parish Representatives. The Governors are appointed or elected for a period of four years. When the elections of parent governors are due, all parents are informed in advance, invited to stand, and given the opportunity to vote.

 

Parents are normally welcome to attend governors meetings as observers, provided that they arrange this in advance with the Head Teacher or the Chair. Minutes of the meetings are available for anyone to read on the parent notice board in the foyer. Should you wish to contact any Governor individually, you can do so by clicking on their name and sending an email.
