Governors' Information
Rationale
Within our school community of learners, believers and friends, the governors promote the very highest standards of educational achievement for all students. All school governors are members of a ‘corporate body’ with delegated powers and functions to be exercised lawfully.
School governors are volunteers and are drawn from different parts of the community; parents, carers, staff, LA, community and other groups.
The Governing Body drives strategic development and raising standards of achievement for all, with Governors challenging and supporting the school in a proportionate, fair manner on behalf of all children and families.
