School Governors
The Governing Body is essential to the strategic leadership of the school, working alongside the Head teacher and other senior leaders, to ensure that all statutory duties are met and management in policies, budgeting and staffing are effective and maintained to a high standard.
“The governing body provides good support and challenge. They, with the head teacher, have shaped an ethos of high expectations” (Ofsted, 2019).
