Governors are responsible for ensuring that the school provides a good quality education. They help to plan the future direction of the school, make decisions on the school’s budget and staffing, and, along with the Head Teacher, set the school’s aims and policies. Governors include parents, representatives chosen by the local education authority, teachers, a non-teaching staff representative elected by their colleagues, and co-opted members who bring particular skills to the governing body. The Head Teacher usually elects to become a member of the school’s governing body.

The governing body meets twice each term, minutes of the meeting are posted on the school notice boards.
