Impact

Governors
Governors work closely with the subject leaders and are kept informed of any developments, through updates, monitoring visits, Headteacher reports and meetings. 

The governors are well informed of any new initiatives, changes and courses that have been attended. It is a good partnership based on mutual respect. Both parties strive to improve standards across the school.
