Governors

Governors play a vital role in the running of the school and we are always interested to hear from individuals who would like to consider being part of the Governing Board- please contact either school office for further information or see this link https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/article/38176/Introduction. We are proud of the way governors in our schools work with us to support and challenge our work.

We have no associate members on our Governing Board.

The Governing Board in any school supports the Headteacher and school leaders in strategic leadership (planning to ensure the school is always doing the best it can for children and families), to fulfil statutory responsibilities (using appropriate laws and guidance) and to act as a critical friend to the Headteacher.
