Governors

Our governors are committed to supporting the school in providing the best possible education and care for every learner. As an independent specialist school, our focus is on ensuring that young people with additional needs thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our Governing Body provides strategic leadership and accountability for the school. Governors support the Headteacher and senior leaders, monitor standards, and ensure the school meets its statutory responsibilities – particularly in safeguarding, health & safety, pupil wellbeing, and financial oversight.

Full Governing Body meets termly to review progress, safeguarding, and strategy.
