Our Governing Body

Governors work closely with head teachers, school staff and representatives from the local authority (LA).

The Governors are a vital part of our School Team and try to be representative of the views of our parents, parish and wider community.  If you wish the Governors to discuss any matter, please draw it to the attention of the Head Teacher or one of the Governors. Governors welcome your comments and feedback, please contact the school.
