Governance and Finance
Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school.
The role of the governing board is a strategic one, its key functions are to:
· set the aims and objectives for the school
· set the policies for achieving those aims and objectives
· set the targets for achieving those aims and objectives
· monitor and evaluate the progress the school is making towards achievement of its aims and objectives
· be a source of challenge and support to the headteacher (a critical friend)
Our Governing Body work as a team with our Principal and other members of staff to ensure that our school continues to improve provision towards achieving an outstanding education for all our children. The Chair of Governors may be contacted via the school. Governors' attendance records are included in the audited accounts.
The latest audited accounts can be found here.
