Meet the Governors
Welcome to our Governors’ section
We have a strong and supportive Governing Body at our school, who take great pride in their role and responsibilities and make every effort to be heavily involved in school life.
Our Governing Body is chaired by Mrs Sue Dunphy and our Vice Chair is Bill Weightman; both live within the local community and are passionate about securing quality outcomes for our pupils
