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.

From time to time there are vacancies on the Governing Committee.  If you feel that you have the skills and the time to commit to working in partnership with the school in this way, please contact the Clerk (Mrs Nikki James) and your details will be passed to the Chair of Governors, who will contact you to discuss the role with you in more detail.
