Meet our Governors
The role of the governing body is a strategic one, its core functions are to:
- Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
- Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.
- Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.
In addition, Foundation Governors uphold the Christian values and distinctiveness of church schools.
The full governing body meets at least once per term. The current chair of the governing body is Mrs Lucy Vernon.
