Governance
Governance at the school is provided by an Interim Executive Board (IEB).
The IEB fulfils the governance functions at the school. These are to ensure that the school has a clear strategic direction, that resources are well used, and that the school’s performance and conduct of statutory duties is monitored.
The IEB started its work on the 4 December 2025. Information is provided here about board members and about meetings held by the board.
The board meets monthly at the school.

Message from Stephen Long, Chair of the IEB
As part of its work. the Interim Executive Board (IEB) would like to offer parents and carers a regular opportunity to come in and meet a governor or governors. We hope you will find this a valuable opportunity to talk about the school and hear about what the IEB is doing to support and challenge the school in its work. Stephen Long (IEB chair) will be available for a cup of tea and a chat on Tuesday 16 December at 4.15 in the school hall. Further dates and times will be available in the new year if the meetings prove valuable for attendees.
There is a governor’s fund for support to three main areas of the school:
- to advance the enlivened education of our community’s primary school children
- to expand opportunity for extra curricula and enrichment activities
- to improve facilities and capacity to accommodate and inspire our children.
If you would like to set up a Direct Debit (even a few pounds a month are very welcome), you can find out more about the Governors’ fund here.
You can also take a look at the NGA Model Code of Conduct.
