Governors
Our governors come into school regularly to undertake monitoring across many areas of the school. In addition, twice a year we hold a 'Governor Day', this is an informal day where governors come in to spend the day with the children in their link class. These informal days give Governors as taste of the school in action, they join in class activities, enjoy a school meal and get to know the staff. Governors follow the children in a cohort through the school, this gives them the opportunity to take a special interest in the children's learning as they progress through the school.
Our Chair of Governors is: Mr Stephen Leatherdale email
