What do School governors do?

 

The responsibility of the governing board is to hold the school to account for the curriculum, school finances, staffing, resources and standards at the school. The governing board shares the strategic vision for the school and monitors all aspects of school life.

The full governing board meets together twice each term and each meeting has a focus on either Resource (staffing, premises and finances) or Teaching and Learning (curriculum, safeguarding, pupil attendance and attainment).

We have 12 governors who are appointed by different methods, as specified by the government.
