Providing a strategic view to assist in the improvement of the school and to raise standards by working in     association with the Headteacher and the teaching team.

Providing both a support & challenge role – by monitoring the school’s effectiveness and continuing to challenge where required and pressing for ongoing improvements in our performance and standards.

Providing accountability – to the parents and the wider community.

Monitoring budgets and making sure that we are compliant in key areas such as Child Protection and      Health and Safety.

• Reviewing and updating the many statutory and non-statutory policies which underpin every aspect of school life.
