Welcome to the
What I am asked most often is "What exactly does a Governor do?" What I hope to do on this
page is to explain a little bit about what we do and who we are.
Every school is required to have a board of
Governing bodies are often described as a school’s 'Critical Friend', and this is part of what we do. In the first place, we help the Headteacher to create an ethos and a vision for the school (through its School Development Plan); and. then by asking questions we monitor that everything is being done to maintain that ethos and that the school is constantly working towards achieving its vision.
The Governing Body itself is made up of different groups who bring different perspectives to all that we do.

All the governors are more than willing to talk to you and listen to any suggestions you may have. We can be contacted through the School Office or if seen in and around the school please don't be afraid to approach us.
