Governors attend regular training courses during their term of office to ensure that they have the necessary skills to assist and monitor the running of the school by the headteacher and the senior leadership team. A record of training completed is held in the school office. Some governors are linked to a particular year groups and have regular contact with their class, helping on trips and with activities.
