The Governing Body
The Governing Body has a statutory responsibility for the strategic management and development of the school. It is the Governing Body’s statutory duty to promote high standards of educational attainment and ensure effective management of the school’s resources.
We are responsible for ensuring that all relevant policies and procedures are in place and that appropriate targets are set. We monitor and review the school budget and appoint staff, including the head teacher.
We are not responsible for the day to day management and operation of the school.
