"Governors are highly effective in their roles. They share the high aspirations of school leaders and work with a strong determination to sustain the good quality of education. Governors have a good range of skills and actively seek other members to make their governing body stronger. They keep their knowledge up to date through training and regularly review how well their own actions help the school to improve." |
For all information about the formation of our governing body members including membership of committees, please look at the tabs on the left and look at the terms of reference. This details their roles and responsibilities, when the committees were formed and when their terms of office come to an end. All governor information is updated during the autumn term as each meeting takes place.

Our governors use a document from the Department for Education called 'A Competency Framework for Governance'. This is to make sure our governors are as effective as possible. You can see this document below.
