Local Governance
The main role of the governors is one of monitoring and evaluation to support the Headteacher and staff of the school. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life.
The key document used for this is the School Development Plan (SDP).
We have a legal responsibility to:
- Ensure that the National Curriculum is followed
- To oversee the school’s budget
- Monitor the condition of the school buildings and grounds
- To ensure that Special Educational needs are met

- The potential of every pupil is unlocked
- The quality of teaching and learning is of the highest standard
