School Governance

All of our Governors bring a range of skills, expertise and professional experience. Our Governors provide essential links between the school, parents/carers and the local community, which is ultimately responsible to the Department of Education for it’s performance.

Governors work with staff and parents to provide the best possible framework for educating our pupils.  

Governors fulfil their responsibilities by:

• Holding the school’s leaders to account for the educational and financial performance of the school. Governors create robust accountability for the schools leadership team through rigorous analysis of performance data and financial information.
• Setting the school’s vision and the strategy for achieving this vision. The school’s vision centres on pupil progress and achievement. Working with senior leaders, the governors agree key priorities and key performance indicators against which progress towards achieving the vision can be measured.
• Ensure the school’s financial success and probity. The governing board must ensure that the budget that the school receives is managed effectively, and with regard to value for money.

Governors are appointed by the Trustees except for parent governors, who are elected by parents and carers, and staff governors, who are elected by all school staff.
