Governors & 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.
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.
