'The Governing body works closely with the senior leadership team and has a clear and accurate view of the school. Governors monitor the effectiveness of the quality of teaching and carefully link this to teachers' pay and professional development.
They are fully aware, through their good use of data, of the progress and attainment made by all pupils regardless of their background. This includes having a good understanding of the effect the pupil premium funding is having on eligible pupils. They understand the differences in progress rates between these pupils and their peers in school.
The Governors carry out their statutory duties effectively and especially those related to safeguarding, so procedures meet requirements. They regularly check the premises and all risk assessments to make sure that everyone in school is safe and secure. Regular training makes sure that they have the skills and understanding to carry out their duties effectively'
