This year the governing body has been stable with limited vacancies and achieved many things as detailed below.

• Kept a current register of interests
• Had and abided by an agreed code of conduct
• Supported leaders in making informed decisions about curriculum development, in line with the school vision and ethos
• Ensured the quality of T&L in school via the T&L committee
• Continued the work of the Resources committee to scrutinise financial data, and input and challenge spending decisions
• Abided by delegated authority for financial transactions agreed at the start of the academic year
• Met statutory requirements as detailed in the Terms of Reference and ensured statutory information was available on the school website
• Scrutinised, tailored and approved policies as appropriate
• Governors shared the load and undertook regular monitoring visits for triangulation of evidence
• Governors undertook training for their role and were particularly mindful of the importance of safeguarding 
• Governors prepared well for meetings, had good and effective attendance and asked challenging questions of school leaders. This challenge has resulted in a range of improvements, so the school welcomes governors' scrutiny. 

Governors gave willingly of their time and expertise, for which the school is grateful.
