OUR PREMISES AND OUR SCHOOL
School Governors are essential for the effective management and development of a school. They help to provide strategic management, make executive decisions and are there to support and challenge the school leaders.
Governors get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the school, understanding the challenges it faces, and are directly involved in setting appropriate priorities for improvement. They carry out their statutory duties and ensure that the pupils and staff are safe.
