Our Governors
As a local Governing Body under the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust, our aim is to support the Headteacher and his staff in ensuring that each and every student is well-supported in order to reach his/her full potential, academically, socially and spiritually. Governors are appointed by the Diocese of Chichester and are drawn from the community, parents and staff. The Governing Body meets five times a year and is responsible for strategic decision-making within the school.
