Our Governors are a group of volunteers which include parents, staff and members of the school and local community. Their main duties are to:

• Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• Hold executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils and the performance management of staff
• Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent

Some of the governing body's responsibilities carry a statutory requirement, which means they are obliged by law to do certain things, such as agree the annual budget.
