Governance

School governors have three key roles:

They are responsible for ensuring the school has a clear vision, clearly understood values and for its strategic direction.
They are responsible for holding the Headteacher to account, for the educational performance of the school.
They are responsible for ensuring the school’s money is spent efficiently and for the benefit of students.

In addition, to understand the culture of the school and to ensure its values are demonstrated every day, governors will be involved in attending school events, such as music concerts, sports fixtures, presentation evenings to name a few.

Every governor is a member of the governing body, which is established in law as a corporate body. Governors may not act independently of the rest of the governing body. Click on a governor’s photo or name to find out more about each governor.

Full details of the governors and the committees of the Board can be found in the Governance Statement.
