Welcome to our Governors’ section.
We have a very pro-active Governing Body which includes members of the community, parents, staff from each school and Local Authority representatives who all work as part of a team to ensure that high standards of teaching and learning are maintained.
We currently have vacancies for 2 Co-Opted governors- please see below for what we look for in a school governor.
Our governors come from a range of different backgrounds, skills and experience but all share a common interest of wanting the best possible education for the children in our school.
We would be delighted to hear from anyone who:-
The full Governing Body meets 3 times per academic year along with sub committees including Standards & Achievements and Resources.
Legislation requires that we publish information regarding governor attendance, their statements of interest and the committees and panels that they represent, on a rolling 12-months basis.
