Governors

The Governing Body

What we do

Governors make the key decisions about how the school is run. The full governing body meets six times a year; sub-committees meet as necessary.

Governors are appointed to help:

Provide and support the strategic direction of the school

Support and judge the performance of the Headteacher

School Governors have legal duties, powers and responsibilities. They must act together, they cannot act individually.

School Governors are:

Parents
Teachers at the school
Local council representatives
Community representatives

Parent Governors are elected by the parents and serve, as do all Governors, for four years. They bring the views of parents to the Governing Body, but they speak and act as individuals; they should not be thought of as delegates of the parents. They have equal status in the work of the Governing Body, with full voting rights. The current Chair of Governors is Parent Governor Robert Brown – he can be contacted via the school office.
