Our Governors

The Governing Committee works in partnership with the school's leadership team to provide an environment that respects the needs, values, cultures and opinions of others, where children can develop positive attitudes towards learning, discover success and develop self-esteem.

We are committed to working with the school team to ensure high standards of achievement, behaviour and discipline and to ensure excellence for all our children.
