The Governing Body provides a sense of direction for the work of the school. Governors work together with the Headteacher as a team and support the work of the school as a critical friend; to hold the school to account for the standards and quality of education it achieves. A good Governing Body will therefore take a strategic view, be a ‘critical friend’ and ensure accountability.

The school governors are in effect our Board of Directors and they are closely involved in the leadership of the school. Governors operate a Committee Link Programme to each of the key school leadership areas: Achievement, Teaching and CPD, Self Evaluation and Planning, Finance & Resources, Health and Safety, ICT strategy, Student Welfare, Business and Enterprise. Governors meet with the senior staff who lead on these areas on a half termly / termly basis. Governors exercise their role of providing challenge, advice and critical partnership.
Details of Link Committees, Governor Register of Interest and periods of office can be found below.
