Governors

Welcome to the section of the website where you can find out about the school governors and the work that we do. 

Governors are often called critical friends as our main role is to support and challenge the Headteacher and staff. We help them to set and reach targets and to strive for excellence across the whole of school life. The key document we use for this is the School Development Plan. 

Our legal duties include:

• setting aims and objectives for the school; 
• adopting policies for achieving those aims and objectives;
• setting targets for achieving those aims and objectives; 
• reviewing progress towards achieving the aims and objectives;
• managing the school's budget
•  making sure that the curriculum for the school is balanced and broadly based and in particular that the National Curriculum and religious education are taught;
•  providing parents with a report every year which includes information about National Curriculum assessments and examination results;
• appointing the head teacher and deputy head teacher (with advice from the LA) and other staff and regulating staff conduct and discipline; 
• drawing up an action plan following an Estyn inspection.
