The management of the school is carried out through a partnership between the Governing Body, the Head Teacher and the Education Service. The Headteacher and staff manage the school on a day-to-day basis within the policies made by the Governing Body under its strategic role.
The Governing Body has particular responsibility for:
-
All aspects of the Curriculum - all subjects including Literacy and Numeracy
-
The School Development/Improvement Plan - including recommendations from any OfSTED inspection
-
Setting targets for and monitoring school improvement
-
Staffing numbers and salaries, the appointment of the Headteacher and staff
-
The setting and management of the school budget
-
Care and maintenance of the premises, especially Health and Safety matters
-
Safeguarding
-
Pupil behaviour guidelines, and procedures for pupil exclusions
We are often in school so if you would like to ask a question or speak to one of us please just approach us or alternatively email or speak to Michelle (School Business Manager) and one of us will contact you.

Through these committees and individual governor responsibilities, they can report back to the full governing body on their own progress and the progress of the school.
