Governors are a group of volunteers who provide support and direction to the school. They are highly valued members of our school team.

The role of the Governing Body is to:

• Set the aims and objectives for the school - including the policies and targets for achieving these
• Monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achieving the aims and objectives
• Be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher
