Governors

A message from our Chair of Governors  

Dear parents and carers,

On behalf of the Governing Body, I extend a warm welcome to our school community.

Our Governing Body plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our school. We work closely with the school leadership team to set strategic direction, monitor performance, and ensure that the school is accountable to the community it serves.

We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can reach their full potential. We believe that a strong partnership between the school, home and community is essential to achieving this goal.

Please explore our website to learn more about our school’s vision, values and achievements.

Thank you for your continued support.

Ali Mckenna | Chair
