Our Governors

Our governing board is made up of different adults from the local community who all give their time to ensuring our children get the best education that they deserve. Their role is to oversee the management side of the school; strategy, policy, budgeting and staffing. They enable our school to run as effectively as possible, alongside our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to provide excellent education for our children. 

If you ever need to contact the governors, please either email the office and mark it for the attention of the governing board, or hand a letter into the office, again marked for the attention of the governing board. 

 The governors function as one board, rather than separate committees.
