Governors

The Role of School Governors 

 Our governors provide strategic leadership and accountability. They help set the school’s vision and values, monitor educational standards, oversee the budget, and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Working closely with the headteacher, governors act as a critical friend—supporting and challenging to ensure the best outcomes for all pupils.
