Governing Body

Our governing body supports all that we do and are keen to get involved as they join with me in a simple goal:

for each child to walk ‘Hand in Hand with Jesus'.


  The remit for the Governing Body is to:


  1. Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
  2. Hold the head teacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff; and
  3. Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
