Board of Trustees
“The school provides a good quality of education. In the short time they have been at the school, the headteacher and deputy headteacher have raised expectations in relation to pupils’ attendance, behaviour and achievement.” – Ofsted, November 2019
What does a board of trustees do?
Our board of trustees helps the school to set high standards by planning for the school’s future and setting targets for school improvement. Our trustees offer support and advice, while holding the school to account for its results and performance.
Our community trustees and parent trustees, as members of the local community, help the school to respond to the needs of the public and make us accountable to the public for what we do.
Trustees are involved in setting the strategic direction of the school and exercises its responsibilities in partnership with the Head Teacher and the senior team. The board of trustees, while not intervening in the day to day running of the school, maintain a presence at key school events and take an active interest in our work.
