Each governor is assigned specific responsibilities and acts on behalf of the full governing body when required. A crucial aspect of a governor’s role is ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students. To support this, we have a dedicated safeguarding governor, who provides regular updates to the governing body on safeguarding issues and ensures that all safety protocols are effectively implemented and adhered to.
