Governance
Our school governors meet regularly; Full Governing Board meetings are held once a term which are supported by regular Business and Curriculum Committee meetings. Their aims are to support the headteacher and staff, represent parents' views and fulfil legal responsibilities.
Our Business and Curriculum teams also meet termly, with our subject lead governors making regular visits to the school to undertake learning walks for their subjects.
