Our Governors

As a Governing Body we are always striving to improve the curriculum, quality of teaching facilities and opportunities within learning for each and every child.

The Full Governing Body meet 6 times a year to discuss the Headteacher’s reports and any other business. Working closely with Embark Federation, school Governors are responsible for the management of the school. They work closely with the Headteacher and staff to ensure that the school achieves its aim of giving every child the best possible education in a happy and caring environment.

Responsibilities include, deciding how the school budget is spent, maintaining the buildings and playgrounds, monitoring the school’s academic performance, appointing new staff, deciding policies on a variety of issues and planning for the future.
