About the Governors
The Governing Body takes an active role in the strategic management of the school. The governors are encouraged to work closely with the staff of the school, for the well being of the pupils. They support the staff, pupils, parents and all those involved in the life of the school, in striving to provide a school with a happy, caring atmosphere, with educational excellence. They make regular visits to the school to see the children at work and meet regularly each term to discuss all aspects of the management of the school, including current legislation and curriculum developments. There are separate committees which deal with the Curriculum, Finance, Staffing and Buildings. The Governors are responsible for the school's budget, the upkeep of the building and contribute to improvements within the school.
