Governors
Governance Overview
The governing board’s primary role is to provide strategic oversight and support to the school, rather than managing day-to-day operations. They focus on ensuring the school's vision, financial well-being, and overall accountability, while holding the headteacher accountable for the school's performance and the well-being of pupils and staff.
