Our Governors

Governor Visits to School

From time to time our school Governors make visits to school to help us to evaluate our provision. 

There are various categories of governors – Foundation, Local Education Authority, London Diocese, Parent-Governor, Staff Governor and Associate Members. Overall we meet regularly to ensure that the school’s objectives are being fulfilled and that high standards in all areas are maintained.

For the academic Year 2016-17, no governors have declared any conflict of interest.
