Welcome to our Governors' section. 

Our Governing board is made up of a team of volunteers who work collaboratively with the Headteacher and other school leaders. They play a vital role in ensuring that the best possible education is provided for our children. They are vision setters and strategic decision makers. They meet at least 3 times a half term and the Chair of Governors- Mr Mann visits the school weekly.
