Governors
Governors are the largest volunteer force in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The School Governors represent different aspects of our community.
As Governors we are interested in your view of the school and any improvements you would like to see take place.
The Governing Board of our school plays an important role in supporting the Headteacher, school staff and parents/carers.
Together with the Headteacher, the Governors help set the future direction for the school and decide how the school's budget should be best spent to facilitate this. They also make decisions on performance targets, school policies and the school's development plan.

Our Governing Board
Several years ago, we adopted the “Circle Model” as our model of Governance, which means that we meet as a full board on a more regular basis – we plan for 9 times a year, and we do not have specific committees. We have link governors who look at different aspects of our responsibilities in more detail. Their recommendations are taken to
full Governing Board for discussion/approval. Link Governors have responsibility for reporting back to Full Governing Board within 2 distinct areas – Curriculum & Learning and Finance & Resources.
In addition to their Link roles on, Governors observe class teaching, undertake school visits/ learning walks. We undertake an annual skills audit, to confirm that we have a good range of skills, experiences and backgrounds, reflecting our local community. This also gives us an opportunity to address any training needs we may have, and how they can be met.
