Our governing body plays a vital strategic role in the life of the school. It has a range of duties and powers, with an overarching responsibility for the conduct of the school and for promoting high standards of educational achievement.
Core Responsibilities include:
- Setting strategic direction and targets for pupil achievement
- Managing the school’s finances responsibly and transparently
- Ensuring the curriculum is broad, balanced, and ambitious
- Appointing staff and overseeing leadership capacity
- Reviewing staff performance and pay
- Monitoring safeguarding and pupil welfare
Governors are expected to provide effective challenge and support, ensuring that decisions are ethical, evidence-based, and focused on improving outcomes for all pupils.
