The governors work with the headteacher and other school staff to promote high standards of educational achievement at the school.  In setting the strategic direction for the school they help decide how the school should develop in order to maintain and improve its standards of education, and approve the policies, plans and procedures which will support that development.

Meetings of the local governing body take place at least once each term.  There is a clear committee structure and most committees meet at least once per year.  Each governor is linked to a subject or an aspect of school life to help build a relationship with school personnel and gain knowledge of how the school works.
