Board of Governors

Every school has a full governing body and is supported by the Clerk to Governors.

We are:

A group of people drawn from the school and the local community
Responsible for ensuring the strategic direction of the school and the provision of high quality education
Responsible for promoting effective ways of teaching and learning when setting school aims and policies. This responsibility is delegated to the Headteacher who has the responsibility for the day to day management of the school

The Governors fulfill three core functions:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent

The full scheme of delegation can be found here:
