Our Governing Body
Governors are a very special part of our school. If you would like to chat to any of our Governors or indeed if you are interested in becoming a school Governor when vacancies arise, please enquire at the school office.
Governors work closely with the headteacher, school staff and representatives from the local authority (LA). To find out more about each of our governors and what they do, please click on their names below:
