Governors make a real difference in helping our school provide the best possible education for each and every one of our pupils.

The Governors ensure that they:

 

• are informed of the direction of the curriculum

• regularly inspect the school premises and maintain it to a high standard
• consider the needs of the school and make recommendations
• appoint members of staff when required
