Dr Natalie Parish - Chair of Governors
I am proud that our school provides a happy and safe environment where everyone is valued and respected. Our aim is to ensure that children are given the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, both academically and socially, to help them to become life-long learners.
As a Governor and a parent, I have seen how the Headteacher and all staff are committed to our vision of a vibrant and successful school that sits at the heart of our unique community.
We are a dedicated and active Governing Body who work in partnership with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. We help determine the strategic direction of the school, ensure we spend our school budget wisely and set priorities for development and improvement to ensure the best learning outcomes for each child.
I really enjoy being a governor and find it an incredibly rewarding role. If you have any questions or feedback or are interested in becoming a governor please contact us via the school office.
