Our governors act as a "critical friend" to the school, monitoring and overseeing the smooth running of the school and supporting and listening to staff and parents. The governing body is responsible for the overall management of the school and for determining its aims, objectives and policies in accordance with all the relevant legislation.

As a Governing Body we meet once each half term. We also have two committees with specific responsibilities. These committees meet additionally to the full governing body, every half term.  Copies of the minutes of our Full Governing Body meetings are available from the School Office.

Curriculum, Admissions and Promotions Committee

This is responsible for monitoring and evaluating attainment and the quality of learning.  For identifying and celebrating pupil achievements, monitoring and evaluating curriculum provision, ensuring that the requirements for pupils with special educational needs are met, and to set pupil performance targets. This committee also works to ensure the admissions arrangements are enforced correctly and places are allocated to children for reception.  It is also important that the school plays an important part in our community and is promoted in the area.

Personnel, Premises, Health and Safety and Finance Committee

This is responsible for staffing issues and relevant policies, including pay, appointments and performance management and responsible for the occupation, use and the upkeep of the school premises. Also responsible for ensuring that the school and all occupants are safe. This includes risk assessments and regular health and safety reviews. Another key area for this committee is to be responsible for determining and implementing the yearly budget and expenditure.
