The governing body consists of a group of volunteers from the local community, each bringing a range of skills, expertise and professional experience. Our Governors provide essential links between the school, parents/carers and the local community.
Meetings are held 8 times a year. All our meetings are Full Governing Board (FGB) Meetings. Throughout the year governors are involved in many aspects of school life and regularly meet with senior leaders and liaise with the teaching team.
