Our Governing Body
All schools in England have a governing body which is responsible for overseeing many of the strategic decisions of the school. A key role is to act as a 'critical friend': to support, challenge, ask questions and represent the school community. Our Governing Body is made up of a range of people from a range of different backgrounds including: parents, staff members, local councillors and community representatives. The standard term of office for a governor is 4 years. The Chair and Vice-Chair are elected every year.
Following a full review of the Governing Body in 2016, a decision was made to take shared responsibility, through committee groups, for key areas of school life rather than delegating responsibilities to individuals. Clear terms of reference for committee groups have been established.
If you are interested in becoming a school governor, speak to the Headteacher Mrs Aldridge or the Chair of Governors, Mr Colin Lloyd.
If you wish to contact the Chair of Governors please contact the school office directly.
