Aspire, Belong, Achieve

Enabling children to flourish and succeed

Governors

The Local Governing Committee

 

Working in partnership, The Three Trees Governors are committed to securing the best possible education for every child in our school. The Governors work strategically with the Trust, Headteacher and staff to agree school priorities, improve standards and provide a range of challenge and support which enables all of our children to "flourish" and "succeed".

 

The Local Governing Committee meet every half term to discuss and agree the strategic direction of the school and review progress. They regularly carry out monitoring visits in to ensure the school provides the highest quality provision, the most cost-effective resources and achieves the best outcomes for the children.
