Every school is required to have a Governing Board. Together with the Headteacher we have a collective responsibility for making sure that all children in our school receive the best education possible in a safe, caring environment. The Headteacher is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school. The Governing Board is strategic, which means that it plans for the future, considers how the school can achieve its targets and aspirations and monitors how the school is doing.
We hope that you will find the information and links on the governor pages informative. If you require any further information or would like to contact us, all Governors can be contacted through the school office, or by emailing the Chair of Governors, Keith Settle, on chairofgovernors@sonning-common.oxon.sch.uk
