The role of the Governing Body
Governors help direct the schools future by helping to look forward strategically to how the school should be improving and developing over the next several years and into the future. They act as a critical friend, challenging and supporting the management team. They are also accountable for monitoring the schools progress towards those development aims, ensuring strong financial control against the budget and that statutory requirements are met. They are not involved with the day-to-day running of the school, which is the responsibility of the Head and the school senior leadership team.

Should a parent wish to contact the Chair of Governors, they should do so in writing, via the school office.
