Governors
Welcome to our Governors’ section
Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.
We have also provided a Register of Governor Interests and an Annual Statement of Issues for your information. There is a financial benchmarking link under the Finance Committee section.
Parents may wish to speak to governors, who have a responsibility to monitor all things relating to the running of school, but governors act as a group and not as individuals outside meetings. Therefore it is preferable to speak to teachers and the headteacher rather than individual governors (unless you have a concern about the headteacher, in which case you should speak to the Chair of Governors).
