The school is governed by twelve governors including the Head Teacher and one member of staff.
The Governing Body act as a link between the Local Education Authority, the parents, the Church, the local community, and the school.
The governors are responsible for establishing the aims and policies of the school, implementing the school budget and ensuring that the National Curriculum is taught.
Their aim is to support the school and its staff in all aspects of school life.
