The Governing Body is committed to the school’s mission ‘Glorifying God through outstanding, enjoyable education’ and to raising the standards of achievement of all of our pupils and students.

The membership of the Governing Body comprises both elected and nominated representatives: parents, staff, the community and Local Authority.
