Governors: 

School governors work with the Headteacher to make sure the school provides a high-quality education and runs effectively.
They focus on strategic leadership rather than day-to-day management. Their key responsibilities include:

• Setting the school’s vision, aims and policies

• Holding school leaders to account for pupils’ progress and staff performance

• Deciding how the school’s budget is spent and ensuring money is used wisely

• Appointing and dismissing staff, and hearing appeals or grievances

• Forming policies on the curriculum and collective worship

• Setting standards for behaviour and discipline

• Ensuring buildings and resources are safe, welcoming and fit for purpose

• Admissions and appeal processes 

The governing board meets 5 times per year.
