Welcome to our Governors’ section. 

Please find below details of how our Governing body is structured, including the names, categories, responsibilities and terms of appointment for each Governor.

The Governing Body takes on a strategic role to act as a critical friend to the School and be accountable for all its decisions. It sets aims and objectives, and agrees, monitors and reviews policies, targets and priorities.
