Governance
Welcome to the Governors' section of the website. Here you can find out about the school Governors and the work we do.
Our main role is to support the Headteacher and the staff – the phrase often used to describe this role is ‘a critical friend’. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life.
The two key documents used for this are the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Self Evaluation Form (SEF). The SIP sets out a strategic plan for the school, with targets that everyone works towards and the SEF sets out how well the school is doing and where we aim to make improvements.
Our legal duties include:
- setting strategic direction, policies and objectives
- approving the school budget
- reviewing progress against the school's budget and objectives
- appointing, challenging and supporting the Headteacher
The full Governing Body meets at least once every term. On occasions additional committees or working groups are set up to look at particular issues (such as pay, performance management, buildings development).

Complaints
We hope that you will be very happy with your child’s education. If, however, you have cause for complaint please contact the Class Teacher in the first instance. If you still have concerns these should be brought to the attention of the Headteacher and subsequently the Chair of Governors.
