Governors
The School’s Governing Board is an extremely committed body of sixteen people, made up from various sections of the school community. Governors are responsible for all the statutory aspects of school such as agreeing and monitoring the implementation of the school development plan. They support and promote the Christian ethos of the school. Additionally, the Governors are responsible for agreeing the school’s budget plan, senior appointments, Health and Safety, and make decisions on building improvements and capital projects.
As a Voluntary Aided primary school the Governing Board is responsible for contributing 10% of the funds required for all capital works. Governors are involved in the everyday life of the school, often visiting to see the children and learn more about our wonderful school.
The Governing Board delegate a number of areas of interest to two sub-committees – Children & Learning and Resources. Each sub-committee has it’s own chair and reports back to the Governing Board.
We have also appointed Link Governors who take an interest in specific issues across the school. Link Governors make regular visits to the school and provide reports on those visits to the Governing Board.
