Board of Governors, Britus Education and the Executive Principal govern the school; Executive Principal & Chair of Governors: Karyn Walton. They work together to provide confident, strategic leadership and robust accountability for educational and financial performance. The governance focuses on accountability, involvement and innovation. The Board of Governors and Britus Education are significantly involved in self-evaluation and in monitoring teaching quality through quarterly Meetings, parent surveys and reviewing academic achievement with the Executive Principal. Governors have three core functions: clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction; holding leaders to account for educational performance and staff appraisal; and overseeing financial performance and ensuring money is well spent. Effective governance rests on six features: strategic leadership, accountability, suitable people, clearly defined structures, statutory compliance, and evaluation. Policies requiring Governor approval include the SEN policy, full Governing Board meeting minutes, Child Protection policy and the policy for supporting pupils with medical conditions; inspectors emphasize Governors' role in inspection.
