The Board of Governors play a key role in leading the school.  They have several key tasks they include:

• To champion the needs of the children.
• Overseeing the pastoral care of all children, parents and staff.
• To set and maintain high standards for all pupils across the school.
• Ensuring that there is an excellent quality of provision in place for learning.
• To maximise the learning of all pupils in the school.
• Developing a wider range of activities to enrich school life.
• Managing the school’s resources, especially the financial budget.
• To recruit, develop and monitor the impact of the school’s employees.
• Make links with the local and wider community.
• To proactively prevent, resolve and settle complaints from stakeholders.
• To make the school open for accountability on its performance.
