Board of Governors 

The core functions of the governing body include, but are not limited to ensuring:

• that the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the school are clearly defined
• that the headteacher performs their responsibilities for the educational performance of the school

The governing body also has legislative responsibility and strategic oversight for the school’s safeguarding arrangements.
