At present, for the 2020/21 academic year, we have some Governor links to elements of the plan which have been established for 2020/21 and these identified governors meet with subject leaders on a regular basis to evaluate progress and impact of work being undertaken. We have a recently formed School Development and Curriculum Committee, whose prime function is to monitor and evaluate the quality of our curriculum, aspects of teaching and learning and the progress and attainment of our children across all year groups. Subject leaders regularly provide updates to members of the Governing Body in meetings.
