Governors

Our Local Governing Body (LGB) ensures that the school has the capacity to improve and raise overall standards. Ofsted considers the governing body to be part of the leadership and management team, providing 'a critical friend' to the Headteacher and the school, to promote high standards of educational achievement and to ensure efficient leadership.

Governors' duties include:

Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
Overseeing the financial performance of the school to make sure its money is well spent

The appointing and dismissing of staff
Hearing appeals and grievances
