Governors
Our Governing body is made up of twelve local authority, co-opted and parent Governors. All governors are volunteers who want to make a positive contribution to children's education by ensuring the highest standards of teaching, learning and welfare are maintained throughout our school.
The values and vision for leading the school are shared between our Governing body, Headteacher and Senior Leadership team.
The Full Governing Body meets four times a year. The Standards, Teaching and Learning Committee and the Resources Committee meets once each term. Within the structure, certain governors have a specific focus on key areas such as Safeguarding, Pupil Premium Funding, Special Education Needs and the Curriculum or specific topics within the school Curriculum. More information about how the Governing Body works and detailed information about the Governing Body, the Standards Teaching and Learning committee and the Resources Committee remit can be found in our terms of reference.
Information and pictures of each of our governors is below. By law we need to publish details of any business interests declared by governors together with their attendance at meetings over the last year. We are also required to report if a governor is also a governor at another school and if they have a relationship with school staff - should that be the case it is documented alongside their profile below.
