The Governing Body is responsible and accountable for all major decisions about the school and its future.  The Governors have a legal responsibility to conduct the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.  They set the school's vision and strategic aims, monitor and evaluate performance, acting as a critical friend to the headteacher and ensure the school is accountable to those it serves. The Governing Body also sets the admissions policy and makes admissions decisions.

Also, individual Governors represent the interests of different aspects of school life on the Governing Body. These include the areas of Literacy, Numeracy, Special Educational Needs, Child Protection and Health and Safety. There is also a Link Governor, who acts to support the Governing Body in a variety of ways.
