Governors

The group of Governors brings to the school and its children a variety of skills and interests. Governors usually serve a four year term and have responsibility for many aspects of the running of the school, for which training is given. As well as attending full Governing Body meetings once a term, each Governor also sits on at least one specialist committee. The Annual Report is presented to parents at the Governors' Annual General Meeting, which takes place during the autumn term, enabling parents to maintain close contact with both the Governors and the school. A regular newsletter is also produced and distributed to all parents.
