Our Governing Body
As a Church Aided School our Governing Body is made up of Foundation, Parent, Staff and Local Authority Governors, as defined in the Instrument of Government constitution. It has a range of duties and powers, and a general responsibility for the conduct of the school with a view to promoting high standards of educational achievement.
The Full Governing Body meets five times a year to decide our aims and policies and to ensure efficient running of the school.
Their role includes:
- Setting targets for pupil achievement
- Managing finances
- Making sure the curriculum is balanced
- Appointing senior staff
- Reviewing staff performance and pay
- Overseeing the strategic running of the school
Sub-committees
Our Governing Body has two sub-committees. These sub-committees meet regularly to discuss their responsibilities in these key areas (under review).
Leadership and Management (including Finance)
Teaching & Learning (including SMSC)
Maintained schools are now required to publish salary information on any employee earning over £100,000 per annum.
All staff employed directly by the school are paid in accordance with the School Teachers Pay & Conditions Document (STPD) or National Joint Council (NJC) Terms & Conditions (support staff). All salary levels are determined and reviewed annually by the Pay Committee of the Board of Governors.
Please see below the numbers of employees earning over £100,000 per annum:
We have no employees earning more than £100,000 per annum.
