Governors
The School's Governing Board has three core functions:-
Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding the Head Teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils;

a Staff Governor - elected by staff ballot
a Governor nominated by the Local Authority
The Head Teacher
Associate Members can also be appointed to specific roles as required to ensure the Governing Body has appropriate expertise
