    Through our meetings and regular visits into school we have strategic oversight of safeguarding, curriculum, finance, premises management and staff appointments. Governors consider our most important role to be the education, safety and welfare of our pupils.

    We monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the school, its budget and its policies. We hold the school to account for the educational performance of our learners. Our role is to support and encourage our Headteacher, Subject Leaders and all Staff to ensure that every one of our Children has access to an enriched, highest quality education, a safe and nurturing learning environment and to all the opportunities that they deserve.

    We are a happy school filled with smiling, confident children. The children achieve high standards across the curriculum. We are justifiably proud of them. We are committed to bringing real changes to the lives of our children.
