Governors

  • We are all volunteers who are passionate about children’s education.
  • We are people drawn from the local & wider community, including staff and parents, some with degree of business and professional specialisation.
  • We are and we want to be at the heart of how THS operates so that we can ensure that each child develops to their full potential.
  • We operate through a number of specialist committees generally meeting on a termly basis.

  • We endeavour to raise standards of achievement and make sure that the school provides good quality education, developing children’s gifts and talents to the full.
  • Governors operate at a strategic level leaving the day to day management of the school to the head and his staff.
