All Governors are subject to a DBS check.

The role of the Governing Body

The Governing Body is a corporate body who sets the aims of the school together with the staff and put a range of policies in place to support that direction. Governors are accountable to parents and the local community through OFSTED and work closely with the Headteacher and senior staff. They generally meet twice a term and monitor performance through reports and discussions; offering support and challenging when appropriate. Governors are responsible for staffing, finance, premises, the curriculum and the future planning of the school.

Each member of the Governing Body serves a three year term.
