Governor Involvement
Governors are becoming more involved not only with the school as a whole but now with individual classes . Each governor has been assigned subject or age group and meet with staff and children in school, reporting back to the committees sharing both successes and any questions that may have been raised.
Governors meet regularly, we have a Resources committee for mainly buildings and finance and a Curriculum committee which looks at matters concerning teaching and learning.
