Governance

The main role of the Governing Body is to support the Headteacher and staff to reach targets as identified in the School Development Plan and the School Evaluation Form. These two documents highlight areas for development and strengths of the school. They help us to plan how to move towards excellence in all areas of school life.

Our legal duties include:-

Safeguarding
Teaching and Learning

The Governors meet at least once a term – their next meetings are on Thursday 3rd October 2024, Thursday 12th December 2024, Thursday 5th February 2025, Thursday 27th March 2025, Thursday 15th May 2025 and Thursday 10th July 2025.
