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:-

• Is interested in children’s education and the performance of the school
• Is community spirited and would like to represent the community
• Has spare time and the energy for the role
• Is able to work well as part of a team
• Has an enquiring mind and the confidence to ask questions and debate issues that affect the school
• Can consider matters objectively and make informed judgements

Meet our Governors

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.
