Our Governors

Every school must have a governing body in order to operate. The Governing Body helps to ensure that the following key areas in the school are carried out to the highest standards:

Educational achievement of all pupils
School’s finances
Balanced curriculum
Appointing staff and reviewing staff performance
Safeguarding and behaviour of pupils

Governors are appointed for a four year term. The appointment of parent governors is carried out by an election when a current parent governor comes to the end of their term of office. Parents of the school decide who they want to be the next parent governor. Other governors are nominated, for example staff governors are nominated by the school. There are some instances where the governors will appoint certain governors themselves where they see that a certain skill is needed which cannot be met by existing governors, such as legal or financial skills.
