Governors

A Message From The Chair Of Governors

I have lived close to the School since 2009 and I have three children all of which attend or have attended the School.  With my oldest child joining in 2010 and my first term as a Governor starting in 2016 I have got to know the School and its community well and it has been a privilege to see the it develop.  In September 2020 I became Chair of the Governing Body, a role I am proud to hold. Myself and my fellow Governors meet regularly and visit the School to help us carry out our duties.  The core functions of the Governing Body are:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the Headteacher and other senior leaders to account for the educational performance of the School and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff.
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the School and making sure it's money is well spent

 I can be contacted via the School office.

 Mr Ian Dewes, Chair of Governors
