Our Board of Governors work closely with the school to ensure that the school is compliant with all government statutory requirements, as well as ensuring that the school is up to date and takes action on all new initiatives.
Each Governor serves a term of office of 4 years and is appointed by the Full Governing Board.
Our governors bring a rich and vibrant wealth of experience from a variety of different backgrounds and professions. They give their time voluntarily to ensure that the school provides a safe and stimulating learning environment. The school aims have been adopted to ensure that every child grows into a sensible, mature, tolerant and confident young learner who will achieve their full potential, at whatever level that might be.
All our Full Governor Meetings are open to the public, so please join us if you wish.
Please inform the Clerk if you wish to attend:

The Co-Chairs of Governors are Tim Bonney and Liam Cottrell.
