Meet our Governors
The school’s Governing Board is made up of local people, parents, and a staff member (along with a member of the Trust and the headteacher) who are keen to help the school contribute to the community and to become the very best it can be.
The governors in partnership with the headteacher, are concerned with the educational matters, the maintenance of the school building, and the appointment of staff. The day-to-day details of teaching and management are the responsibility of the headteacher and the teaching staff.
