Our Governing Body
We are lucky to have a supportive but challenging governing body. Each governor has a link to a different aspect of school life and their responsibility is to make sure the school is constantly moving forwards and developing. They challenge the headteacher on all aspects of the school. In the interests of transparency, details of governors business' and financial interests are listed below.
