Our Governing Body

The Governing Body wishes to offer a warm welcome to all visiting our school website.  Our governors are committed to supporting the school and our body meets regularly throughout the school year to perform the required statutory duties.

Below is our Governing Body Prayer which is spoken at the outset of all board meetings:

Heavenly Father,

We seek the guidance of your Holy Spirit in the business that is before us.

In planning for the future, give us vision.

In matters of finance, give us responsibility.

In dealing with people, give us love.

Watch over the children and staff of this school so that it may flourish according to your will.

Amen

 

 

Queries about the Board should be addressed for the attention of the Clerk to Governors via the bursar email address.
