Our School
Governance
As governors, we are proud of our school – the children work hard and are well behaved, but they are also recognised as being individuals and given plenty of opportunities to have fun; the teaching staff put in a huge number of hours into preparing and delivering lessons while also giving the children the care and attention they need; and the other staff ensure that everything runs smoothly (and deal with the lunchtime grazed knees!).
What we do
As a Governing Body we are expected to have a strong focus on three
core responsibilities:
- Ensuring clarity of vision
- Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
