Governance
Our Local Governing Body is composed of Parent Governors (parents of students within the school) and Co-opted Governors (members of the local community or people with skills and experience in particular areas). Over an academic year, our Local Governing Body meets half-termly to oversee, scrutinise and challenge on all aspects relating to the function of our school.
