About the Governing Body

Text

Welcome to the section of the website where you can find out more about the school’s local governing body, and the work that we do.

Our main role is to support the Executive Headteacher, Head of School and the staff – the phrase often used to describe this role is a 'critical friend’. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole spectrum of school life. We also work closely with the Trust Board, working together to secure the very best outcomes for the children at our school.

Our legal responsibilities include:-

• setting strategic direction, policies and objectives

• approving the school budget

• reviewing progress against the school's budget and objectives

• appointing, challenging and supporting the school senior leadership
