Our governors help to monitor the school by working closely with our head teacher and spending a morning in school every term scrutinising work books, carrying out lesson observations and acting as a critical friend of the school. They meet twice a term as a whole governing body as well as holding termly committee meetings to look at specific aspects of school life.
