The Board of Governors plays an important role in the life and development of our school. Working closely with the Principal and staff, governors help shape the strategic direction of the school while ensuring that every child receives a safe, supportive and high-quality education. Our governors bring a wide range of experience and expertise from the wider community. Together they are committed to promoting the wellbeing, achievement and personal development of all pupils.
