  • Providing a strategic view to assist in the improvement of the school and to raise standards by working in association with Mrs Leeman and the teaching team – with support, advice & information drawn from the knowledge & experience of the serving Governing members
  • Providing both a support & challenge role – by monitoring the school’s effectiveness & continuing to challenge where required and pressing for ongoing improvements in our performance and standards
  • Providing accountability – to the parents and the wider community.
