What do the Governors do?

The Governors act as a 'critical friend' to the school by:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction and supporting staff to achieve this.
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure money is well spent.
