Welcome to

Governance Statement 2025-2026

The Governing Board has three core functions:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and it’s pupils
  • Ensuring financial health, integrity and value for money

We have 2 full Full Governors meeting per term.

The Full Governing Body – Steve Smith (Chair);  Karen Appleby (Head Teacher); Lucy Cross (Co-opted Governor); Peter Dacre (Staff Governor),  Nicholas Chesher (Co-Opted Governor); Carley Foster (Co-Opted Governor); Kim Gill  (Co-opted Governor); Clare Barker (Co-Opted Governor); Aneta Moss (Parent Governor); Gillian Evans (Local Authority Governor)

  • During the course of this year, the governing body have restructured to a smaller governing body of 10 governors. The new structure is:
  • 1 Chair of Governors
  • 1 Parent Governors
  • 1 LA Governor
  • 1 Staff Governor
  • 1 Headteacher
  • 5 Co-opted Governors

Since the role of the governor may have a conflict between professional life and supporting school life, we have a register of interests. If you wish to see this document, please click on this link to download it.
