What do the Governors do?

The role of the governors is to provide support and challenge to the school so that the school is well led and managed in order that every child can reach their potential.

How do we do this?

We do this through regular meetings with the school leadership.  There are Full Governing Body meetings every half term, the first half term reviews the headteacher's tri annual report and the second half term reviews the school action plan. SEND provision, finance, health and safety and safeguarding are discussed and reviewed regularly.
