The Governing Body is made up of 10 Governors who are all volunteers who are committed to giving our children the best education they can.

There are:

2 Parent Governors who are voted in by the parents at the school

2 Foundation Governors who are local people appointed by the Church of England

1 staff governor elected by the staff

1 headteacher

1 LA Governor appointed by the Full Governing Body.

3 Co-opted Governors who are appointed by the Full Governing Body

The Full Governing Body meets four times a year. Apart from the meetings, the Governors come into school to help in many different ways. They observe lessons and talk with teachers, they oversee any building repairs, they take assemblies and they talk with parents and offer invaluable advice. They are also responsible for appointing staff.

The Clerk to the Governor ensures that all the paper work is kept up to date and organises any elections or training that is needed.

The Governors are led by the Chair of Governors.
