Ofsted Jan 2023 : Leaders including governors know the school well. They have a clear vision and understand well its strengths and priorities for further development.
Ofsted Jan 2018: Governors are an enthusiastic and effective team. The governing body maintains a sound and careful oversight of all aspects of the school’s work. Governors share your vision for improvement and show the capacity and skills needed to support you in this. Governors ask challenging questions of senior leaders. For example, some keep a close eye on the school’s progress in diminishing the differences between the achievement of disadvantaged pupils and that of others. This is contributing to improved standards for this group.

BECOMING A GOVERNOR
Governors take a four-year term. The Government has asked Governing Boards to focus on ensuring they recruit people with the skills that the Governing Board requires.
The only type of Governor who is elected rather than appointed are the Parent Governors. When a current Parent Governor's term is coming to an end, we will circulate information to all parents regarding the election process. We will also state what skills we are looking for.
However, regardless of specialist skills any eligible parent can still apply if they would like to.
