On June 1st 2017, our School became an Academy as part of the Oak Trees Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and we are looking forward to this exciting chapter in our schools’ history. The Trust is made up of Members and Trustees from across the MAT schools and each school has a Local Governing Committee.
In the Academy area of our website are a number of statutory documents required for our conversion and further information about Oak Trees academies, policies and Governance are available on the Oak Trees website. https://oaktreesmat.co.uk/

About Our Governors
The Local Governing Committee is responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers the highest quality of education for our children. Together with the Headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school’s aims and policies.
There are currently 7 members of the Local Governing Committee who bring with them a wide range of expertise from varying professions.
The Full Local Governing Committee meet 4 times every year.
