Meet the Governors

They are an amazing group of people who give their time freely to support and continually move the school forward, wanting the very best for every child and the community.

Supported by a Clerk, the governing committee is made up of local people, each committing themselves to serve terms of four years. There are four types of governor: Parent Governors, Co-opted Governors, Staff Governors and Associate Governors. Between them they have a good knowledge of pupils, staff, school priorities, local issues and the relevant experience in supporting the leadership and management of the school. With the Headteacher, they ensure there is a continuous drive for improvement and accountability for outcomes.

You can find all of our governance documents, including memorandum of association and articles of association here.

The Board of Trustees is the chief decision making body for the Tapestry.

Our Local Governing Body has NO associate members.

As a committee of Tapestry Learning Partnership, their legal responsibilities are:

  • Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff;
  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.

In order to do this they meet each term. Minutes of meetings are available by contacting the Clerk to the Governors, above. In addition, parents are encouraged to speak to Parent Governors with any concerns or queries.

We currently have vacancies on the board, if you’d like to consider joining the Governing board you can fill in an expression of interest
