The three main functions of the Local Governing Board are:

• Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction

• Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils

• Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

Governors are mindful too of the requirements of our children’s parents and carers and their need to be informed about the overall leadership and management of the school and how it affects safety, learning and the enjoyment of their children.

To achieve all these objectives Governors continually evaluate their own roles and monitor the school’s performance through data and liaison with the staff and pupils. Relevant information is shared with all families and interested parties through the website and newsletters.
