The role of the school governor is demanding but very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your local community. School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. The Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school and staff.

If you think you might like to become a parent governor, you can do so if your child attends our school. You can be elected as a parent governor by the Parents/Carers. Schools organise these elections, and inform Parents/Carers and staff about them. You can also become a governor by approaching the school to see if they will co-opt you or by asking the local authority, church or foundation if they would appoint you.
