Our Governors

Our Local Advisory Board are a fantastic group of volunteers who support the school by acting as critical friends, by challenging us and holding us to account and by supporting school improvement. They monitor learning and behaviour in school and closely analyse progress and attainment throughout the year.

Our Local Advisory Board meet every half-term and the Chair and Vice Chair are voted in annually during the first half of the Autumn Term. A copy of the Local Advisory Board minutes are available upon request.
