Governing Body
The Governing Body has one LA Representative Governor, five elected Parent Governors, twelve co-opted Governors and two Staff Governors (including the Headteacher).
The Governors’ role is to vouch for the safe strategic direction of the school, as well as to ensure that there is due regard of process in the school’s daily actions. Between them, Governors bring a wide variety of expertise from their professional lives. They provide an immense service in directing the school strategically.
The Governors and Headteacher now have greatly increased responsibilities and powers. Complaints, in the first instance, should be referred to the Headteacher. Matters which remain unresolved will then be referred to the Chair of Governors.
Parent Governor Vacancy – Autumn Term 2026
The school presently has one vacant Parent Governor post to fill. Nominations are invited from parents/carers to fill this position based on a term of office of four years.
